The Garrett GT2052 aka "Look Ma, No Vanes!"

I thought about eliminating the step from the elbow to the turbo inlet

Add a turbo pre TIP, compressed air takes less space so TIP design is not so critical

Big turbo inlet pipe is huge on how quick bigger turbos spool up. It also helps tremendously with top end performance. Pulling vacuum before the turbo causes it to get more inefficient, make more heat, and work harder.

I have a 3" tip on my "fast" car too. Never ran that turbo with anything smaller to compare. I just went with 3" because that was the airbox outlet diameter.

Do you know what the exhaust housing volume is for the 2052? I cant find anything.

If you mean A/R (which isn't a volume but a flow area divided by a radius) it is 0.50 on this one. Turbine map is even available on Garrett's homepage.

Eh, yeah. I was having a brain fart when I posted that. You can ignore it.

I still have adapter plate kits, rear engine mount brackets, and now EXHAUST MANIFOLD FLANGES!
