Yeah, I wish there were some other pics of it.

 

Not impressed by how it looks as the runners taper down before the turbo flange.

 

Thats actually a good thing. At the expense of a bit more restriction (backpressure felt by the engine) the tapering of the runners increases the gas velocity and will help to spin the turbine to a higher rotational velocity sooner. The result is lower spool times. It's hard to say for sure, but the decreased spool time may outweight the slight increase in boost pressure needed to achieve a specific HP target.

 

Agree, but without knowing the actual runner dimensions it's hard to say how much effect it will have on gas flow. I personnaly would rather have open runners so I'm not limited on how much I can flow later down the line say I want more power.

 

Here a few older pics of it installed. I've since upgraded to a 44mm wastegate and had it ceramic coated.

 

Love the PWR intercooler.

Can you pm me some pictures of the inner core if you have them. I have heard that this is a tube in shell configuration.

The photo is of a production piece before it was ceramic coated to properly show it was CNC machined. Once ceramic coated, you lose these details. They are being produced in Canada for 675$US without ceramic coating (85$US extra).

bar and plate design

was hoping for a tube in shell configuration

 

I like the setup with the PWR unit. I am looking into the exact same thing. It requires no ambient air and I wonder if in the end it will prove worthwhile. I also wonder if it really does improve turbo spool since less piping is required?
