Wta

[BDF#900]

Has anyone run one in a cat yet?
And was the improvement worth the expense?

 

[mighty1000]

Run what??

 

[Clode]

WTA will improve any turbo set-up, less chance of detonation, and make more horsepower per psi of boost

 

[mighty1000]

Again what is a WTA?

sorry, Water to Air intercooler for cooling the charge air on a turbo

 

[mighty1000]

Ah
Agreed with Clode, also will make the tuning more consistence.

Brent was not convinced yet. (as of last spring)

Wonder though does it add lag time? The intercooler itself would have more restriction then just an open charge tube. But I also know, do a few hard back to back pulls with no intercooler and I can feel the difference in power. Id really like to keep the fast response too. I want it all! Lol Us sledders are a greedy bunch. Never noticed having to mess with tuning with the Boost-It box. Once I had it dialed in it seemed very consistent. Just wouldn't pull as hard once the turbo system was hot after a few pulls.

 

[mighty1000]

That's kind of what I meant about consistent the charge temp remains the same or close to the same after multiple pulls or unlike the variation in ambient air temp with an air-air cooler is dependent on.The water-air should be cooling the air at a consistent temp, because its regulated by the vehicles cooling system.

 

[mighty1000]

As for lag time I don't know? I would think either cooler wouldn't add that much restriction to be factor as long as everything is speced correctly

 

[BDF#900]

The 1100 already has air to air so don't think there'll be any noticeable difference in lag time. Was looking for some one who has done the swap, and if they noticed any improvement. Sorry don't need explanation on how it works, way past that part of the learning curve on turbos. Any first hand comment on any experience with one would be appreciated. Thanks

I will be running a M8000 WTA Turbo setup this winter. I expect it to run awesome!

 

[Vertical-Extreme]

it was night and day difference on my M8. if done properly with the correct size heat exchainer and a closed loop independent system they really do work. Brad Story was doing this in 2009, it just took the rest of the turbo builders a while to catch on. but I think almost everyone is building one now.

 

[samsquatch47]

Where are you guys getting your M8 WTA's built? I'd like to try one on mine.
Last I talked to TSS they didn't have one yet for my kit.

 

[BDF#900]

i hope so, 'cause I own one now.

You got a M8 WTA from TSS? Is it for the old kit or the new instaboost kit? Mines the old style. I talked to Brandon at the beginning of summer and they didn't have one they wanted to release yet.

 

[Vertical-Extreme]

Brad Story did mine back in the day

No, an EVO one for my 4S.
