V Band Questions
#4
by intake housing you mean compresor housing? no you dont. however when you buy the Tial exhaust housing (your literally buying only the housing) you need to buy the necessary v-band flanges and clamps as well as new hardware to mount your CHRA to the Tial housing and from what i have been told by the experts here (they need to be safety-wired as well)

the housing has a vband in and out on it.
you will need a manifold side vband and clamp as well as the downpipe side outlet and clamp. the 3" atp vband i had on my last downpipe was bigger and wouldnt have worked with the tial so you NEED the tial stuff.
the clamps iirc are 49$ each and the manifold and downpipe flanges are 36$ each.
if you upgrade a new turbo from atp turbo the housings are only 100$ additional for a t2 turbo. but to buy them new alone they are mid 300's

Same hot site, similar performance, but the prime delta or whatever on the compressor map is lower. You get an exponential increase in output as you raise boost until you hit prime...so the sweet spot in the 2860rs is lower, and that works for what I'm doing.

as far as the chinacharger deal, I find it unlikely that you could find a chinacharger that even used the same size turbine wheel, and even then it probably wouldnt bolt up to the CHRA

It's foolish to not use inconel safety wire on a $450 CHRA, and I speak from experience. The wire is $20 and $20 to get a machinist to drill them. I've also run an entire season and never put a wrench on the motor or turbo...do it once, do it right.

I guess what I'm getting at has more to do with trying to fit a chinacharger with a tial vband housing...
I have a china on the way, and was really planing to measure the turbo, order the appropriate sized housing and try and mate together...
If/when I find myself on the track, I'd likely be upgrading quite a few things as this is not a track built vehicle..
Haven't seen much on here about why it would or would not work...
