Finally some pics of the new charger

Specs are:

S400 frame
65mm inducer wheel
98mm exducer
1.00 Ar installed now, with a 1.10 housing siting on the shelf to try out
74mm turbine wheel
GT42 install kit ( thanks Maxlly and Johnboy for the hand me downs)

Hope everyone enjoys, definately the biggest 2.5 charger I have ever seen. Hoping to see boost around mid 50's when the intercooler boots situation is figured out

Travis,

You da Man!!! Congratulations on the conquest good luck with boots and tuning.

I thought you had the S400X or was it the 465? Learn me please.

Regardless of what you installed you have the set up to go big if you choose.... really big.

Looks good Travis!:)

Max
It is a 65mm inducer S400. I could be mistaken but I dont beleive the 65mm wheel is extended tip "X".

not to nitpick but have you thought about wrapping your AC line with some heat tape?......Not trying to say your turbo will get hot:D


DEI sells heat tape FWIW,probably get it at any performance shop if your interested

X 2 on the heat tape on the AC line. You have a nice aluminum elbow there for a BOV ! Get them boots straightened out I have blown mine off there 4 times. A good welded bead or a rolled bead. Then lots of torque on the clamps. (lots ) . I have been in a s 400 duramax and with the right tunning it will light .

Where did you find the flex tubing for the intake at? Turbo looks good tucked in there!

James, I call the turbo a S465 because it is a 65mm S400 charger. No this charger is not an ET wheel but I dont not have any problems lighting this charger
