Blouch Turbo's

[v8s_are_slow]

Anyone heard of these or running one? Buddy of mine was talking about them tonight saying he wanted the 20g. Was looking on Extreme's site. I like the 6.0 Dominator ball-bearing turbo that supports 720 horsepower. Only problem is that it doesn't say crap about the turbo. No airflow, boost level supported, no pics, no nothing. And not much feedback on the forum about these turbos. Just wondering if anyone had any input. Guessing they're in a stock type mitsu housing. Even looked on Blouch's website and about the same amount of info.....not much. Just wondering if anyone would maybe have more info. Thinking of them like the Holsets. Not many people had used them or knew much about them, but now, everyone and their whole family is running them. Lol.

They are big in the Subaru world.

Their turbo offering for DSMs are kinda old school, 16G, 18G, 20G, Frankensteins, etc.

All good turbos if thats what you want, but a lot of progress has been made in the last 10 years for DSMs, we now have loads of turbos to choose from to meet most any want or need.

Yeah I live right down the road from them. Bunch of cool guys. There website is mum for pic's, info, etc like you mentioned. There are plenty of turbo's that will support 700+ for that price range. I'm not saying I wouldn't recommend them, but they are def falling behind when it comes to the dsm schene.

Yeah, didn't know if they were still using the ole plain jane mitsu housings or not since they don't have any pics. And wasn't sure if there was anything special about the way they built them or not. Since they obviously don't say much about the turbo's, and no pics, it's really hard to know about them.

But I will say that a 20g framed turbo with a ball bearing cartridge that supports 720 horsepower sounds attractive. Not sure what the spool time is and all. Although for $1400, I'd for sure be wanting to know more about it before I spent that kinda money on a turbo with little to no info about it.

I know the CBRD EVO runs a custom Blouch Turbo and has had success with it. I'm not sure on how much they do for our cars, but the custom 33R that they use on the EVO is pretty cool. That's not a typo either....yes I said 33R.

Yeah I understand what your saying. I'm not putting down Blouch Turbo by any means believe me. They've always done good by me and I trust there opinions and workmanship. The thing is the days of trying to adapt old Garrett wheels into the DSM housings are over, and have been for a while. This isn't 2002 anymore. HTA / Billet wheels are out by almost every turbo manufacturer and it's simply time to move on. I could possibly see the retro appeal, but other then that, like I said before, for the money there are plenty of turbo's that can lay down 700hp. The turbo you where refferencing to (Blouch Turbo Inc. - Our performance turbo upgrades and rebuilds) is simply an old school PTE SCM6152 but with the S cover, not the standard E cover, but with the ball bearing option. It's really not worth the money. If your looking for something on the cheap try locating a 6 blade HX40 pro and get the T3 .70 A/R housing for it. It's already made 653awhp, with the punny .55 a/r dsm bolt on housing IIRC.

Yeah, I had been considering the HX35 cause of the spool time, with a BEP housing. But always like to keep my options open ya know? I have always LOVED 20g turbo's though. They have always spooled really fast and pulled hard and easy to just bolt in. I wish they had some pics and more info on these turbo's. Oh well....
