Default Since the compressor side is more efficient, then turbo life is extended

The shaft clearance remains unchanged, it the clearance of the blades to the housing that becomes better. Less heat. more output = happy turbos.

Default unless there is oil contamination.......

the side play in the shaft wont increase at any measurable amount. the wheel will wear its pattern into the housing in the first few hundred miles after start up.

Compressor efficiency. It's a pump with fewer leaks.

I'm glad I've held out on new turbos this far, this is what I've been waiting for.

I think I should do some tests on what power increases it brings to a non-chipped car. :-)

Default Glad to see you thinking outside the box....

Can you say who will be doing the software on the much larger turbos?
