What happens in the real world is far different then theory.

Your successes, and many other peoples successes with the 57 trim are a testament to what I said in my post.
My entire purpose for posting was to contradict the pages of negative comments about the 57 trim with facts.
Fact is, I know you have used them.
I know FM has used them.
I know Rick Diogo has used them.
and I myself have a 57 trim.
All of you have had a lot of success with the 57 trim and it goes against everything else posted in this thread.

I have run a 57 on a 2.2 and 2.5, in neither case was compressor surge a problem.

So you are agreeing with me then, although maybe not on purpose.
There is nothing wrong with the 57 trim on a TD!
Yet, this entire thread is "anti 57 trim".
I am simpy trying to stop the 57 trim bashing before it goes too far.

I ran one at 35 psi with no problems on a mild SOHC head, so much for being a flow wheel. Swapping to an "ideal" configuration cover and wheel netted an insignificant gain in performance.

Exactly my point! There is no significant difference between the 2 turbo's being discussed!
Perhaps you did not interpret one part as I meant it though.
When I say it is a "flow" wheel, I mean it is designed more for "flow" than compression as compared to some other wheels.
We both knows this as fact, simply look at the compressor map.
I was not trying to imply it was nto capable of high compression. The 57 is MORE than capable of pumping out huge PSI.
I dont want to get into the real deal behind this post here as it will just start a flame war so i sent you a PM.

Your right.
I'd advise people to look at what other people have done and decide for themselves what works and what does not instead of trying to get something meaningful from this thread.
The bottom line is where the rubber meets the road. [/b]

Gary, maybe you did not realize it when you posted, but what you did was just AGREE with me on basically all counts.
The purpose of my post, in the end, was as I said "do not beleive everything you read".
The problem is, people here put a lot of confidence on certain people, especially moderators (or even SUPER moderators) and will tend to take things they say as "fact".
If I didnt step in and lay down the facts, who would? Probably no one. What would happens is people would read it, believe it, and then spread it around.
