Hello all,
I'm getting my build going finally as I had some bummer hold-ups from the shop it was at, back when I bought the S&H Performance single turbo stealth kit in May of 2015. Everything sat in a box, and Comp Turbo drop-shipped the turbo.
Now that I have opened everything up and checking it out closely, I found the turbo had a divided housing with an A/R of .84 when it was supposed to be an undivided .81, as the manifold for the kit is also undivided and only a single waste gate.
Thankfully Comp is willing to swap it out for the correct one, but before I do, I wanted to make sure I am making a good decision.
If I were to stay with the .84 divided, would it work better?
From what I have read on other forums and articles, it is not a straight forward answer, since some say there is no issue, and others say it will cause surging, spiking, uneven amounts of air in the housing, and possibly even crack it.
Not sure what to do here, and it's a big decision since if I proceed forward only to hit an issue later, it's an expensive mistake.
Thanks all.
