Smooth Bore or slotted cover
|
Which spools up easier, a turbo with a slotted cover or a smooth bore, and which makes more power and as a percentage , how much?
Also in a 4.1 or bigger which makes spools up easier a 7 blade or a 8 blade compressor wheel, and typically which makes more power, |

A smooth bore will spool easier if your talking about the same turbo because its pulling less air and a 8 blade will spool easier than the 7 if your set up is good the 7 wiil make more power if you can keep it spooled |

Your questions have different answers depending on your setup. He's my general take on things (only experanced with 3" chargers tho)
Big cube motors like slots, smooth bore turbos will 'lug' better Not many people building 8 blade wheels. 6 and 7 seems to be the prefer blade counts |

Is a map ring considered the same as a slotted cover or are they 2 different animals?? |

A slotted cover spools easier. Read up about it. |

A slotted cover expels air backwards through the slot during low boost situations |
