Ok so because I'm an untrusting so and so - I decided to do some research on the "SC38" I bought.
Now I believe (and I am not the most knowledgable by any means) that an SC38 is meant to be an 18g turbo.
Although scoobyclinic don't state a grammage on their website, having read some forumns I believe the general
Rule of thumb is:
SC36 - 360bhp - 16g
SC38 - 380bhp - 18g
SC40 - 400bhp - 20g
And so on.....
Well I took a look at my Blouch Turbo box that the new "SC38" came in. There was an "SC38 Billet" sticker placed over the blouch product code however it was also on the bottom...
So I looked on blouch website to confirm what I was reading and indeed - the barcode product is actually a 16g not 18g - so I believe actually an SC36.
Now my order was delayed by some 2-3weeks with "customs clearance" being stated as the reason - after much chasing it finally arrived. I am now wondering whether I got sent something else just to ensure I got something as it was so late.
Strangely blouch reckon their 16g Turbo can make 410bhp but I haven't read anywhere of 16g turbos making that sort of power (again I am happy to be proved wrong).
Now this all stems because when mapped, I got only 355bhp from a setup that "should" have given around 380bhp at least.
People's views and thoughts?
I have also emailed scoobyclinic for their opinions.
