do you have access to the compressor maps for these?

hi im a turbo remanufacturer. the gt17 and the t2 are both very good. giving very similar results. i wouldnt bother with the cheaper turbos as the bearings in the CHRA and the thrust bearing are made from cheap brass and wear very easily. the t2 or gt17 are a much safer option.

what do you mean by compressor maps? at work we set the actuator up to a standard factory setting. it can be adjusted to keep the wastegate shut longer to preduce more boost.

compressor maps are operating maps of the turbos; efficiency's/flow etc. i think that is the right terminology anyway.

I don't do turbo mapping at work, we just remanufacturing them and set them to a factory setting. Mapping a turbo and remanufacturing them are 2 different things

you cant remap a turbo, well make a hybrid i guess but a turbo is set to a defined map by its a/r and turbine fins etc at a guess. These graphs just give you the effective ranges of there operation.

ie you dont want to stick a massive turbo on a mini as it wont produce enough air flow to even charge the air to make it effective; it will be inefficient.

Maybe best of reading the garrett site mate before start giving advice thats all im no pro but even i know what a compressor map is and i work in an office not even with turbos.

Yeah, re-manufacturing exists, re-mapping doesn't.

Would a GT15 hybrid with a T2 and 360 thrust bearing be a good turbo for this type of set up?

[Wil_h]

GT15 and a T2 are one in the same thing, but the GT range of turbos have more efficient turbines. So better to just use a GT15.

unless you want to use the mirage kit, as doesnt the GT range use a difference exhaust downpipe flange; like the GT17?
