Installed that godblessed KB oil pickup today. Totally not worth it. Mine looked to be in PERFECT shape. No heat marks, or anything similar to the ones that people were concerned about failing, or had failed.

So... BTW.... I've been asked to explain the turbo, because the blouch numbering system is totally jacked up... and no one seems to know jack squat about this turbo.

It is basically a GT3071r stock location designed to work with stock location inlets but with a billet wheel.

Here's the Blouch Dominator 1.5XT-R info:

Compressor: 71mm Billet

Compressor Inlet: 2.5” or 3.0" 

Turbine: 56.5 mm

Center Housing: Water cooled

Bearing System: Full ball bearing

And the Garrett GT3071r info:

Compressor: 71mm

Compressor Inlet: 2.75” or 4.00" 

Turbine: 56.5 mm

Center Housing: Water cooled

Bearing System: Full ball bearing

I've been asked several times "What's Next". Well, here's the final mod list. After this I'm done for the street machine. Maybe I'd go further after it's not street legal, and I want to keep it as a garage queen/track monster

This will be in the future, but not the near future. On 24psi I'm expecting 430whp-ish.
