I will continue to search but maybe this will be a quicker way to get the answers I'm looking for. A little background: I had a bad internal oil leak a while back and part of my troubleshooting I took my PTE 5431 and rebuilt it using an ebay turbo rebuild kit. Prior to rebuilding and even right after there was no shaft play-the problem ended up being the valve seals. Fast forward to the other day and I noticed a decent amount of oil usage and I'm having a pretty good amount of side to side play on my 5431. Compressor housing is slightly scored, I figured I might as well look into a new turbo vs getting it rebuilt. I'm using the AGP kit with log manifold, 4-bolt outlet.
I'm searching for a replacement, will most likely get it from AGP. I like the price and the specs of the BW S252SX-E. I want something that spools decent and may take me to 400-430 hp. Already have most supporting mods and will run it on pump and may get a meth kit later. Stock block and head. I also want to do it on a budget which means using the original AGP log mani and 4-bolt outlet.
My question is: is this turbo set up for twin scroll and is there a decrease in performance using a twin scroll turbo on a non-twin scroll mani? The price is ~100 less than the normal S256. I didn't have complaints about the 5431 but I would like to try something a little different
