I am building a new set of compounds utilizing my current s475/87/1.0 in the valley with a gt5541r 106mm as the primary. I want this setup to be dialed in as perfect as I can get it. It will have 2 gates. 1 to gate around the s475 and 1 to gate around the gt55.
I didn't have much luck dialing in the gate on my current setup so I just pulled the gate out all together. Not sure if the gate was too big or what.
I want the new setup done right. The gt55 will have the 1.0ar turbine housing.
Mainly I am trying to figure out how hard the gt55 can safely be driven. Right now I see 43psi out of my 98mm borg with zero issues other than with no gates I can hit 1800 degrees down the 1/4 mile trapping 133mph.
Im new to ball bearing chargers and there is a tick in the back of my head that has me scared for fear of over speeding them.
What are the do's/don'ts in/outs for setting up compound turbo gates?
