Has any one bought a turbo from FWD

[gman]

I was just wondering how good they were, and I was looking at the super 46 trim t3/t4 the compressor cover looks like that it fits without haveing to do all the modification, that you would have to do with a hybrid is this true cause if soo that is the turbo I want I tried to call them but I didn't get an answer, just wondering if anyone knows if it just bolts right on and how good the FWD turbos are
thanks

FWD turbos are fine. It is a hybrid so you will have to modify the coolant lines a little bit. It bolts right up, of course you have to get the dodge bolt pattern.

now it doesn't say what size the turbine housing is, is it .48, or .63 does anyone know causeI noticed that it doesn't say it for any of the turbos
thanks

i believe that is a to4e 46 trim wheel in a STOCK cover. no modifications to install, its "sort" of a hybrid, lol. it should come with a .63, but im sure you could get either.
i use to run that style turbo, nice piece

I guess the best way is to ask. What kind of power levels are you after? a little more power or some serious 1/4 mile times?

Make sure it is new. I bought a Super 70 from Cindy

well, it says that it will support about 360 hp, and I was gonna get an FM enforcer 2 and this turbo seems to be about the same, but is $150 cheaper. well I am lookin to get the car into the mid 12's it's an Omni GLH, the rest of the setup is a 2.5L ported head with back cut valves +40's 3 inch exhaust, custom cal, a555 trans and what not
thanks

I purchased one from FWD, last year. T3/TO4E I had to trim a little off of the corner ,of the head to make room for the turbo outlet pipe. Very happy with it so far. Haven't been to the track with a good tune yet.
Either of those two should get you the numbers. Slicks and a stock turbo should get your light Omni into the 12's. Stock turbo in my heavy Daytona was 13.4, new turbo is so much cooler in underhood temp imo.

Good luck, Greg

that should be the exact same turbo, it will get your 12's. i believs steve m. ran 12's with a fm e2. there is a dyno chart of his car making just over 300hp on the dodge garage.
oh, on the 360hp rating, thats about maxed and youll need a giant i/c.

Cindy is great to deal with, prompt and as orderd.
If cost is an issue the standard S-60* turbo is more
than enough to put you in the 12's with instant street
boost for daily driving. No custom fabing the S-60
bolts right up, with your 2.5 boost is INSTANT

* .63 AR not other vendors .48
