Turbo Question
I'm starting to piece together a turbo kit for my BMW this winter, and I have to oppurnunity to buy a turbo relatively cheap. The only problem is that I have no idea what the different trims are.
the turbo that I've found is a: A T04b S trimp comp, 0 trim turbine
Could someone please explain to me what the different trims mean, and if this is a good idea?

Re: Turbo Question
Trim is (minor wheel diameter/major wheel diameter)squared x 100. It can also just be a term used by a company, which is what it is in the case of the T04.
And a good idea? I'd learn some more about turbo's before you try to piece a kit together.

Re: Turbo Question
I've learned a fair amount about turbos, and I'm trying to learn more (hence me asking questions). I'm just starting to get parts together, it won't be done any time soon anyway lol.
