Anyways, The HT-18 seems to be more rightly sized for this engine. Has anyone got any idea of what A/R it is? Looks like a .60 to me. I love how it just howls at 10psi pulling my 240 wagon up the sylvan hill out of portland.
The turbo I got out of a Mercedes has a .48 A/R turbine housing. I have no idea what model it was though. I'm fairly sure that the A/R of the HT-18 is .60 based on what I've read on the net. Apparently there are different versions though, referred to as Series 2, Series 3, etc. (mine was listed as an S2).

So you slapped the RX7 compressor on the stock D24T turbine? How's that working for you?
