FP RED dispelling twin scroll myths.

My primary concern about the new BW items isn't the power potential, but the transient response of the thrust bearing arrangement as opposed to the Garrett BB. Also, I am a little unclear as to how the physical size of the BW pieces compares to the Garrett turbos of similar power potential.

Yes, from the little useful (but ever increasing) information I have found on the BW's, their ability to spool up relatively close to the Garrett DBB turbos for a journal bearing turbo is in their wheel design, especially the extended tip models. Did someone say HTA?
I am curious how a TS BW would compare to a single scroll HTA-modded GT turbo of similar size. I am willing to believe that transient response would still be superior in the TS, but in terms of similarly loaded spool? Hmmm...

The twin scroll design widens the power range so it makes sense for the power levels at higher rpm when compared to something similar with single vane.
The only drawback I believe with the red is the internal WG's harmful influence on flow.

Geoff,
how would you compare the BW T4 S360 to a T4 TS GT35R with your kit on the EVO? I know that a lot of the supra guys are now starting to use BW turbos and the honda guys have been having great success with them.

regarding the comparison to garretts, its actually really easy to compare sizes -
Garrett T2 = BWTS S100
Garrett T3 = BWTS S200
Garrett T4 = BWTS S300
Garrett T6 = BWTS S400
the new turbo nomenclature will be like this:
BW TS300 83/75 .91 - this is a Twinscroll S300 (T4) turbo with an 83mm exducer compressor and 75mm inducer turbine in a .91 a/r
we need to update our site with this new nomenclature sorry its outdated

their engineers tell me they simply can not retain the durability they need with ball bearing center sections. their journal bearing system is very simple and very beefy. if you put the BW turbo next to a garrett turbo, the difference in center section volume and corresponding oil volume is drastic. Also they do 2 simple things to ensure excellent spoolup and response:
1) almost all of the new turbos are twinscroll
2) all of the turbos have conservative compressor:turbine ratios in the 1.10-1.14 range. no turbine efficiency robbing mismatches!
you can vent the internal wastegate to atmoshere with a custom o2 housing. the only drawback I believe is that the turbine housing is much too small
