What does the R stand for? Arrrrr! But seriously, folks, the “R” indicates this turbo has a ball bearing center.That means better response, faster spool, and lower horsepower loss from parasitic drag compared to traditional bearings.
Otherwise, this turbo is the same as the 16G-XT you know and love, which means it’s got a 54mm turbine wheel, a 65mm billet XT compressor wheel, with a rated flow of 38lbs per minute. 8cm2 or 10cm2 exhaust housings are available.
Turbo includes water pipes, oil feed line, turbine inlet and outlet gaskets, and ported exhaust housing.
Note that all Blouch turbochargers are custom-built to order and may not be returned.
