If there's a complaint, it should be directed at the fact that very seldom are the compressor wheel specs, cfm, turbine specs and maps given to potential buyers. I like to compare efficiency maps and wheel specs to other turbos. Without these specs, a buyer is at the mercy of bloggers and developers. I realize not everyone knows how to ready boost pressures and lb/min on a compressor efficiency island and determine if they'll get surge or choke, but to those who know who have reasonable knowledge, it would help. For that reason, many people have to rely on the sellers 'words of wisdom'. Those who have been burned because they HAD to rely on the seller, are now skeptics. Those who don't want to ONLY rely on those same words would like to have the specs. Very seldom are maps (except Garrett) and wheel specs given. This causes wrong choices to be made. Good example is the GT2871R. It comes primarily in 3 options 48,52 and 56 trims. For a VW 1.8t, the 48 was not much better than the Disco Potato( GT28RS). The 56 was too laggy. But the 52 is just right. The specs helped by comparing it to common knowledge and specs against the "Disco" and their respective maps. I'd like to see that type of information available for the EVO turbos. I'm now off of my soapbox.

The one other EVO is in PR, but still, it's extremely rare.

One more thought. By giving the spec type information, it would tell the truth about all of the misnamed turbos in the 28?? and 30?? series of turbos. Such as which compressor wheel is larger but has a smaller turbine side, or which one has the same turbine side, but the compressor is smaller than another. Those wheel specs don't tell all but having inducer/exducer data at least helps when combined with T25, T3, T4 housings.

Lets calm down with the test-on-a-normal-car schtick. Dave has already expressed the fact that hes not going to spend an enourmous amount of time and money taking his car backwards.

Shake it off.

Some people will inevitably buy the tubo and test it. If, a few months down the road, you like what you see in terms of other peoples's results, then buy one. Just have a little patience, your answers will come sooner or later. Its just a turbo... not a vacine for cancer we're all waiting for.

This is not about his car it's about his customers cars. The reason people are getting worked up is because they don't want test results on full blown race cars. Like everyone else said 90% of the Evo's here are mildly modded. Testing a car like that appeals to the general demographic.

He's not really marketing this turbo, instead of sitting back *****ing about wanting to see numbers, wait for the first couple guys to get the damn thing, and see what kind of numbers they put up.

I think DB kinda knows a little about what he's talkin about......

And you obviously don't. Last time I checked it's his job to market any product he offers, this generates revenue for his company.

Would you like to buy a 20g version 1 or 2?
Db has proven his products over and over, but when it comes to these hybrid turbos few have delivered on the first try or at all...

I'd buy a V2 20g, but then again I wouldn't be one of the people walking into it expecting a 450whp & a 10 second car on the stock longblock with the stock ecu expecting 100+whp out of a small upgrade on pump gas.

can we get some pic's of the LT compared to a 20g 9-5 and a stock evo 8 or 9 turbo??? lets see close up of the mods done to the LT

Dave at what boost level was it flowing the 38 lbs/min. and what was its efficiency at that point??

Stop driving a stock car and you won't have to sweat Dave's nuts. If you don't like Mr. Buschur's habits/reasons/policies, then speak with your wallet and don't buy his parts. But I guess if your car is stock, you're already doing that, aren't you?
