The cx turbo's aren't as bad as people make them out to be.
Used Holset > New CXRacing turbo. I used to balance high speed drive shafts and monitor gearbox vibrations etc on helicopters when I was in the USAF. Turbos spin at insanly high rpms depending on the amount of boost. Turbo's see 100,000 rpm on a regular basis, that is WAY to much for something not to be dynamically balanced. When something isn't balanced it's simply waiting to break, that's just fact.

I bought it to use on my wife's Miata, but she's decided she just wants to rebuild the motor and sell it, so unless I get crazy and put a huge turbo on my CA18 and use the supercharger to spool it, IDK that I'll have a use for it anytime soon. I got it for super cheap, so I'm not real worried about it.
MOD is holding a M62 for me, I just need to send him some money. I have some really good idea's for brackets and supports etc. I'd mount it on the exhaust side, run it through a FMIC and use water and nitrous for cooling. There are guys running the M90 up to 20psi on the 3.8 with proper cooling. I figure I could get close to that with the M62 if I can sufficiently cool the air. Hence the water/nitrous injection
When you say it's clutched, does that mean it's unloaded until a load is applied to the engine? That would be sweet for mileage etc, driving the SCr is the only reason I have never been overly excited about using a roots style. I hate losing power to drive a power adder...seems like working backwards.
