What Turbo is the wr3 based off of? What did it start life as?
And I don't understand why u will get charged a $250 core fee. What the hell do they need a k04 for if this is a completely different Turbo?

X2, never interested in doing core trades, deposits etc. I wonder what part of the k04 they're still using.. Maybe the n75 sensor, and wastegate stuff. who knows.

Stock K04 vs WR3
55mm compressor wheel
56.5 exhaust turbine wheel
On my model which is the Prototype since we are in testing stages still has the 4" inlet and 2.5" outlet..
The WR-3 is a larger turbo the the ZFR..not saying it's better, just larger.
I think that the WR-3 will flow more CFM, which will make more "safer" power and will hold power longer up top. WIthin the week of having it fully tuned I love it. The car put down 412/425 easy on 93 octane. We were able to get more, but would be unsafe on 93 octane.

Damn. I love the looks of the WR-3 on their website. The thing looks like a monster. I do like the ZFR though. It sounds nasty as all hell and is incredibly fast to spool from seeing vids. make me want to upgrade mine...
Kdub, That is pretty damn impressive to for 93. With E, it'd be nuts to see the results.

Here is the video of the dyno, sounds like a jet. It is a big mother ****** too haha. Dave (owner of Pwerks) said it will be the last bolt on they will do. It is just too big! Honestly I am fine with having it spool a little slower, so is my trans haha
This is total build, not put in car yet...

Stock turbo look? Trust me it looks nothing like the K04. At first Dave was going for that like he did with the WR-2, but it was impossible with the size haha. And yes it's a 4" inlet, you will receive a very nice reducer with the turbo. We are in the works of a 4" intake pipe right now

Yea man it's fun for sure. We were very satisfied with the numbers on 93. We are going to try E and Meth come spring time to see what we can push out of it. But i'm happy with my 410/422 DD tune
