The Blouch Dominator 1.5XT-R is a little tweak to the already popular Dom 2.5XT-R. Originally designed for 2.0L customers in the UK, the Dom 1.5XT-R uses the Garrett GT 56.5mm turbine instead of the full 60mm turbine of the Dom 2.5XT-R. The end result is a slightly quicker spooling turbo while trading off some high RPM horsepower capability.
Beyond the turbine wheel, the Dom 1.5XT-R consists of the same cutting edge turbo technology that you have come to expect from Blouch Performance Turbo: Blouch billet fully-machined closed die forged 49 lb/min XT-R compressor wheel with state-of-the-art aero, our own custom compressor housing machined in-house and designed for improved fitment, Garrett GT ball bearing center housing and Blouch custom 10cm2 turbine housing with adjustable upgrade actuator.
Note that this turbo may vary slightly from the photos, as compressor and turbine housings are updated frequently.
No boost creep worries here with the smaller turbine – our turbine housing and wastegate actuator are designed to work together to ease your tuner’s job and provide the flattest possible boost curve. All of this complete with turbo mounting gaskets, oil feed restrictor, braided stainless steel turbo oil feed line, oil drain tube, coolant pipes, banjo bolts and copper washers.
Choose from WRX-style or STI-style braided oil feed line. Additional options include standard or 3″ inlet, ceramic coating of the turbine housing, and the option of 8cm2 or 10cm2 turbine housing size (Note that ceramic coating may add 1-2 weeks for delivery.) All Dominator turbos come with black powder-coated compressor housings showing the BPT logo. The turbo shown in the photos has the optional ceramic coating on the turbine housing.
