Default Dr Turbo and JZ...BCI-18 and UHP questions.

Got a couple of questions for you guys since you test a lot of turbos.


What's so special about the Garrett BCI-18 Compressor wheel and the UHP turbine wheel? For example, I've seen a few claims that due to their more efficient design, a GT35R with a 61mm inducer will out power a T66 with a 66mm inducer due to the newer wheel technology even though it's smaller. Comments?

Also, same thing about the UHP turbine...even though it's a T3 in the GT35r it's supposed to outflow (less backpressure) than the older turbines. Comments?

Also, what happens to the flow map when you take a stock compressor housing off a GT35r and replace it with a TO4E?

Thanks.

It would be nice to see some tech on those wheels. Thanks.
