So I'm a bit of a turbo whore lately, and I'm trying to ring the last drop out of my stock motor. I recently upgraded from my DBB 6765 .84 divided to a DBB 6766 1.15... and the results frankly are a little bit shocking. The results are below.
I apologize for the photo - the printer was down, was the best I could do
Other changes to the system.
1. Moved the BoV as close to the TB as possible (it was on the hot side in the passenger vent hole like most)
2. Replaced my TB coupler with a wiggins style clamp because I kept pushing that pipe into the fans and it had caused a hole in the radiator
3. 2PSI bump in max boost (36 to 38)
4. 1 degree of timing increase (1 degree produced over 20hp gain) - we could have gone more but as i state below, we're already pushing it on the stock internals.
I will admit that it's possible we fixed a boost leak, however I was holding 36psi to an 8000 rpm redline with the 6765, so I find that a bit unlikely...
The REAL gain came from drastically reducing back pressure - on the 6765 with smaller AR, at 36 psi I was at 56 psi of back pressure, on the 6766 with 1.15 I was at 38psi of boost and 46 psi of back pressure - there is no doubt I could have made 40-45 psi of boost with this turbo and setup, but frankly we're already flirting dangerously with the stock rods limits, and while I am planning on building a motor - I wasn't prepared to send a rod through the block last night on the dyno.
Net gain was over 100hp and 79 ft/lb of torque..
Thanks again to SSA for their expert guidance in turbo selection, they took a bit of a gamble on this one, they knew I wanted to make over 800 on the stock setup before building my motor and insisted that freeing up back pressure was the key, I was very worried that the 1.15 would be laggier and slower even with the newer more efficient 66 wheel, both Precision and SSA assured me it wouldn't be and they were both right.
I take back everything negative I've ever said about the 67s, because at this point I'm a solid 200 hp beyond what I adamantly felt liek they were capable of about a year ago.
Solid line is the new 6766, dotted line is the 6765, both were DBB turbos, and both are divided setups, on full-race header, dual tial gates, recircd into 4" dp/mp, and hks Ti 4".
