Well This is yet another review about both the fp3575 turbo and the PTE t67/ptrim t4.
I have to say, I wish I never got rid of the 3575 turbo. The only reason I went with the PTE t67/ptrim t4 is to have somthing more nitrous friendly. The exhaust side of the 3575 turbo seems small that it would not flow very well with nitrous and 30+lbs of boost, so I figured a bigger exhaust wheel and bigger exhaust housing would net me better #'s, I was wrong in a big way!! The 3575 turbo outflows the PTE t67 by a long shot.
So on with the PTE t67 turbo.
Turbo is bolted to a DNP T4 tubular manifold and with a very nice 3"v-band o2housing.
~PTE t67/ptrim/.82AR T4~
Impressions, I hate this thing, worse turbo I have ever owned in my life. A 16g can handle more abuse then this damn thing. I have 400 miles on this turbo and is fed off of the filter housing with a -4an feed line and a -10 return line. 400miles later and only 3 track passes and maybe 10-12passes on pump gas with only 21lbs. The compressor wheel is hitting the compressor housing. There is no visual damage done to the compressor wheel at all. No shaft play, no oil spraying out of either sides, no smoke. Nothing to lead to a bad turbo. But rather a improper balance and build of the turbo. After talking to a few turbo builders they all have came to the conclusion that the turbo has a improper balance. So to sum it up, at high RPM with the turbo not being balanced correctly the shaft tends to bend to one side, cause the wheel to hit the compressor housing. This only happens at full boost and at high RPM. I can not get the wheel to come even close to the housing by hand. This is only happening under full load and high RPM.
I polished the scuff marks away on the housing and went out and tested again. Came back and pulled the intake off to see the scuff marks are back clear as day and even worse.
If your like me and do not want down time due to some stupid mistake from the builders of the turbo, then stay away from this one. Very poor build.
~SPOOL~
Trash! 1st gear, 16lbs by 8000rpm
2nd gear 21lbs by 6900rpm TRASH!!
3rd gear 21lbs by 6400rpm
Response between shifts? NONE!!! This thing falls flat on it's face when you bang the next gear, gotta wait for it to build boost back up. It may be just this turbo, but if your like me and get burnt the 1st time, you tend to stear the other way. You can hardly feal this thing hit, there is no tourqe with this turbo at all regardless of what I try and do with the AEM. More timing, less timing, more fuel, less fuel. Not a damn thing helped this turbo spool faster and hit harder. You can hardly feal it hit when it hits full boost. Seems the boost comes on linear like the tach does. Rather then the nice kick your ass in the seat with the 3575 turbo did. I have checked and double checked for boost leaks, exhaust leaks, everything you can possialbe imagine. And nothing was wrong, just this turbo is a waste of time.
~power~
Again, not impressed at all. I gained 1mph over the 3575 turb and LOST, thats right LOST 4-5mph in the 1/8th mile.
Lets campare turbos shall we?
3575 turbo 10.66 @138.99mph 110mph in the 1/8th mile 31lbs on street tires no nitrous.
PTE T67/ptrim t4 10.77 @139.79mph 106mph in the 1/8th mile 33lbs on hoosier quick time pro slicks with a 50shot of nitrous!! Yes that's right with the nitrous!!
~STREETABILITY~
Look the other way if you want to run this on the streets. This turbo is not streetable at all!
Now the 3575 turbo.
~FP3575 turbo~
One of the greatest turbos I have ever owned and I kick myself in the ass every day for getting rid of it. This turbo is a work of art, very streetable, very powerfull, hits extremely hard, and gives very good tourqe #'s along with WHP #'s
More about this turbo right here http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=203475
You can see pics of the 3575 and the 3065 turbo with WHP #'s, track times, streetablity, ect ect.
SO lets sum it up here, if you are looking for the very best T67 turbo, look no further then the FP3575 turbo!!. The 3575 turbo kicks the holy hell out of the PTE t67/ptrim T4 in every way. Don't do short cuts and save just acouple of hundered dollars, get the best there is and be done with it. I will be planing on going back to FP's great turbos!
Thanks for the space, if you want to know more about either of these turbos feal free to contact me at anytime.
