i need to know the turbo sizing like the trim and the a/r and anything you know about the turbo that comes with the nsport kit, xs engineering turbo kit, and the f-max kit. i am trying to piece together a turbo kit and i need to find out the turbo trims and things about the turbo.

I believe you can choose a specfic turbo from each. Not sure if there might be any additonal costs if you do this though. Best thing to do is call them.

They don't just tell you the trim size and stuff like that because thats how they find the one that works the best with the motor and they list it as top secret

nsport is the only one of the three that won't give you specs. you tell f-max and xs-engineering what specs you want.

I can probably see why NSport does not. They claim they make some kind of modification to the turbo(probably clips the turbine wheel) so it may be a little more proprietary. But turbos tend to come with A/R's stamped on the turbo itself, and it's not hard to figure out the trim of a turbo if you have a ruler.

Regardless of if they tell you or not, if you have a particular spec turbo you would like to use, I'm sure they wouldn't mind substituting a different spec turbo. But if you don't know what you are doing in choosing a turbo, it probably won't matter much anyways. I mean, how would you know it's a good match or not?
