i'm curious about this hot-swappable turbo housing plan...
is that akin to a set of track tires you swap on for race weekends?

Another example of the not so wonderful rotating assembly of the B15. Look at those wrist pins.

Yes exactly -zebra
Not any plan just going to try deferent turbo for deferent cars, trucks and uses. like if I'm going to be making runs at 1/4 mile during test and tune might run an 88/102 turbo for a few months. on the street and screwing around with some auto cross maybe twin 366s. long 1 mile runs I might use anther turbo.( like changing rear gears, tires and break pads when I would run different road course.) its just for fun I'm not class racing.

An 88/102 would be for use as a single.

You do know most turbos are not direct swaps unless you stay in the same family and with certain AR housings right? Like if you build it for Twin Borg’s then you won’t just be bolting on twin PTE’s without changing or modifying piping.

yes I know that one doesn't just expect the piping to work with all the different turbos I can weld and do fabrication. but thank you for the heads up.
I read about the bent piston pins and that would suck big time! what do you think caused that? I want to avoid that.

Most likely detonation, but look how thin walled they are, and the intake valve issue.

that's more of what i was getting at... but i figured i'd see how the first response went.
