Hey guys wanted to post some pics of the 1000 b.c. covers we just finished. This is our mid frame compressor cover made from 6061 billet. The wheel sizes we are using range from 58mm to 72mm.
Why did we make a billet cover?
After 18 years of designing Turbochargers and being in the performance industry, I noticed that all the Turbo companies were basically copying each other's Turbo components. Most of the performance housings and wheels started off as an OEM Garrett part.... Everyone was fishing out of the same pond.
Our Engineering expertise allows us to take a fresh approach to performance Turbocharger design.
Instead of machining a pre-existing cast housing for a wheel, we are able to design our housings around performance Billet wheels. We all know how much Billet wheels have changed over the years, and the covers they are in have not kept up with that technology. We also have noticed significant gains in surface texturing and volute shape.
We are not stopping with just the compressor housing. We are revamping the whole Turbocharger as you know it. Turbine housings, Wheels, and Bearing systems will all be getting updated....
Designing parts to be a cast has certain limitations and doesn't always allow the freedoms needed in order to design the best performing part.

Hydro-Dip now available also!

Slow the feed down. Cutter marks look like cr@p in the radius's. or at least run a pencil program. Finish on the rest looks great

Thanks for the feedback, this was a test-housing. Production housings will be finished much better than this one is!

Some new pics of progress for the billet Compressor cover and seal plate!

Very nice!
