Just ordered BB PTE SCM50

I had to swap out the 45 for a 90 as well.

Ok, so the oil return line is in line now. But the compressor housing sits soooo close to the front motor mount. Aside from having an elbow welded on, the only way I can see to do it is to clock the housing. My problem with that is I am running an internal wastegate and would have to fabricate a new peice to make the puller arm still work. Has anyone here had any experience with this. Any ideas?! Or should I just break down and have the elbow welded on? Thanks for any ideas.

I've played with the idea of having the compressor housing clocked. If you look at the way the internal gate is bolted on, you would have to rotate the housing 1 bolt over, if you will. That means the entire housing will have to swing 60* (1/6 * 360 because there is 6 bolts). The only problem I remember with that is the gate will now hit the compressor outlet. If I were you, I would just get the elbow welded and not worry about jimmy rigging it.

I can chime in on this. I've had mine on for maybe 300 miles so far. I love it. It pulls so much harder than the to4b v-trim did that was on before it. It doesn't spool much faster though. I just put down 317hp and 320 ft/lbs at all 4 at 21 psi on 93 with some knock up top as my injectors hit 102%. So there still more to come just by getting enough fuel. Looks like it's time for some 850's.

I checked out your profile, where you using 750's at this time?

This makes me a little nervous since I was looking at a similar setup and only have 650's.
Going off of RRE's website 650's were good for 21psi.

My goal was only around 300-350whp.....if you were barley able to do it on 750's I might not have a chance?

OK, I was able to trim down my connector enough to clear the mount so I think that it will be OK. I looked at clocking the housing and figured I would have to machine a peice to make it work because like you said, it hits the mount and won't work. My only issue now is getting the damn oil return line to work out. It seems like everything I try, I run into issues. I didn't want to spend the 85-100 bucks for a kit so I was trying to buy the fittings and that myself, but so far it is kicking my butt. A bit more tinkering, and I'm sure I'll get it. BTW, I am running 650's right now. I have DSMLink so I could run anything I want. Should I get the 1000's and be done with it or would 880's be more than sufficient. I don't know if I will be able to overrun the 880's with this turbo.

DSMLink? If the 880's and the 1000's are the same price, go with the 1000's.

650's should be enough for quite a bit out of a 50 trim. It seems to me that DSMLink doesn't run injectors in full capacity. People have run much larger turbo's at more boost than i without problems. Of course there are other factors here too. The rest of the fuel system needs to be up to par as well.

Yup, if you have DSMLink then why not go with the 1000's and never need to worry about upgrading them again.

1000cc injectors all the way. RC injectors are the only way to go. PTE and FIC injectors are much harder to tune than the RC's. Even with dsm link. Check with RRE if you're skeptical about that.
