Message: [QUOTE="KCTurbos, post: 935907, member: 13852"] I would prefer not to make any of this thread into a bashing of any companies... Every company has its pluses and minus and I am not trying to call out or point fingers at any specific companies... But to try and answer your question as best I can... if you had a stage 1 turbo from any company that was cut by hand as opposed to using a cnc program... AND you are having problems with surging, low boost, high egts, turbo lag, etc... then your problems could be coming from the compressor cover and/or type of compressor wheel (not all stage 1 turbos use the same compressor wheel). The biggest and best part of this cover is that it is brand new and not cut by hand so this provides a more precise cover which leads to better performance. Also the .72ar compressor cover will also provide an upgrade. Our testing has showed that the larger AR on the compressor cover really helps out our VGT turbos. This is why we are selling it as a kit. Every cover, every AR, every compressor wheel, and every turbine wheel will act different when combined. We have tested this combo to make sure it works well for all of the applications we have mentioned. If we were to sell you just a compressor cover and find out that your compressor wheels was slightly too big, slightly too small, damaged, rubed against the surge ring, etc... then you might end up with the same problems. I have seen these problems on stage 1 and stage 2 turbos from many different companies. On the other hand if your stage 1 or stage 2 (63.5 or 64.7) works perfect, you love your turbo, and never have any problems. Then this might not be a very advantageous upgrade for you. This is also great for the guy looking for a more cost effective way to upgrade their stock turbos for less money and know that they are getting a high quality product. Hope that answers your question [/QUOTE]
