HTB2SS initial impressions
I'll try to be brief:
Wow!
This is my third turbo, the last being the one in my signature block. The rumor of the stainless are all they are cracked up to be...and in my opinion, more. The turbo lights off audibly (increase whistle) at 1400, and visually (boost) at 1500. It pulls continously to 3000. Without a load, charging the hill that I use to set my boost controller , at WOT in 6th, 3000 rpm, 32psi, the temps stopped and held at 1210. Three times. In a hot, muggy South Carolina day. Freaking awesome. All runs were made with the TST PM3 set on 0. The shift in my power curve from mid-range, to now low range is trailer-yanking-off-the-line great. This is exactly the turbo I wish was available three units ago.
I still have more no/low boost smoke than I want, but it clears quickly as the turbo come on. I have a set of RV275's ready to go in to replace my 1.6's; just need a little time.
More to follow after a few more days of driving.
