Where to fill bottles in Aurora??

[DsmRacing]

I just got off of the phone with checkers....$4.10 a lb! I remember paying $2.75 last Oct.
Where is the cheapest place to fill a bottle??? I'm thinking about trying c02 now.

Checkers is the only place I know of.

You might try calling some of the local Honduh shops and asking them. Paragon, ImportSports, and Racing Trenz all come to mind.

Import sports is pretty cheap. $3.20/lb I think.

Checkers is $4.10 but will match anyone. Was $2.75 last Oct
OnTrack $4.00
Import sports and Paragon $3.50 and I think trendz as well.

I'll probably go to paragon tomorrow.

I think I'm selling the Big T28 and sprayer and going with an EvoIII or some type of 16 or 20G. Wish I could pick up Jakes 3065, oh well.

Why a 20G? Wouldn't it make more sense to go with a 50-1 or 60-1 then a 20G? They cost less and seem to put out more power. If you have an FMIC and the fuel to support a big turbo I'd get a 50 trim minimum and call it good.

20G's cost what like 1100 + an external gate?
50 trim costs $849 + an external gate.

50 and 60 trim is also oil cooled so the install is cake no beinding water lines needed.

Both are available internally gated but for a turbo that large I'd be concerned you'd blow the waste gate open on either turbo if running high boost levels.

EVO III 16G I think flows right about the same as the Big28 so I don't think it would really be an upgrade worth the expense. But someone should correct me if I am wrong on that.

The Evo III B16G flows about 10-12lb/min more than the BT28. The Garrett setups you quote aren't direct bolt ons and the direct bolts ons aren't always so cheap. He probably doesn't want to change over and I don't blame him. And a 20G is a waste.

This is not a direct bolt on?

Marcus is running a 60-1 as a bolt on isnt he?

[fusionsport]

it is a direct bolt on if you buy the matching manifold and no matter what your gonna have a DP made or modified, and so there you go.

I agree a 20G isnt worth the ca$$h or the trouble, and we should all know how I feel about hybrid turbos by now.

Not a direct bolt-on. Over the 20g setup I had on there, I had to modify the oil drain and feed, block off the coolant passages and create a custom pre-turbo intake.

On the exhaust side, it was a true bolt-on as it used a true Mitsu 7 cm turbine housing stuffed with the Garrett turbine wheel. If you call a bolt-on something that bolts to the stock manifold, then yes, it was a bolt-on. Everything else needed at least a little modification.

My turbo basically is a SBR G60. At least it started life as one. Then it got a 60-1 CHRA from T.E.C. as a replacement.

My 60-1 was a bolt on. But I had to do all of the things that Marcus did. It was a Buschur 580. Or a PTE 580. Had to make a custom VPC intake, cut oil return line inhalf and use new piece for turbo oil outlet. But it bolted right up to a 2G manifold and stock o2 housing and stock style down pipe. I had a 3" downpipe but still in stock location.
