ok, since i run an IHI on my ranger, ill bite. what are the specs on the new wheel and housing? the ebay link in the thread on NATO is dead.
did you have charlie do anything to the hot side to compensate for the (im assuming)larger diameter compressor wheel?

be sure to let us know how you like it once its installed. im sure ill be looking for some type of upgrade for the ranger eventually. im very space limited by the A/C components, so no room for an externally larger unit. plus, i like having the lil IHI hidden down behind the alternator, under the coil packs and A/C lines; keeps the uninformed people guessin...


You know what? I have no idea what the specs are! All I know at this point is that it has 6 vane pairs as compared with the 5 vane pairs of the original compressor wheel. It is also a larger diameter.

Charlie did a mild bit of work on the hot side to make it spool faster, but as I know just about nothing when it comes to turbochargers, I don't remember what it was.

Looks like a nice set up!

P.S. Someone put your V8 in backwards.
