I suppose it depends on what you consider clean.. I'm the kind of nutjob that's wiping dust off weekly

Maybe the satin is fine, one of those "you won't know until you try it" deals

The gloss is probably better... just haven't seen many satin jobs.

No need to dust the engine off when it hasn't started in about 3 weeks. Hibernating on the trickle charger

Gen 2 High Powers Arrived from Elite Today.

Black AOD · Feb 8, 2016

Curiously enough, the VGT has a batmo wheel in it measuring 63mm....wasn't expecting that....everything looks good though. Got a new one piece hotside pipe which is nice....Tadd modified a new RCD SS Up-pipe so we can run a twin wastegate setup on these which will be nice. Everything in the pictured box is off to the powder coater and will be back next week. Tear down for turbos and fuel system begins next Monday the 15th.

Also, Jared @ OUO has hooked me up with some serious Axle love products that will go on after I get the truck back. Thank you Jared! :thumbsup:

Sounds like a beaut Clark. The Batmo is kinda surprising

Nice.
Looks like they've refined them a bit.
What's all different about the Gen 2 High powers?

Black AOD · Feb 8, 2016

As far as I can tell, the LP 76 has a stronger and better and slightly larger compressor wheel, the VGT obviously has a 63mm batmo wheel and I believe the Gen 2 7675 is rated for higher HP now. I believe the VGT has another change too but I can't remember what....

Black AOD · Feb 8, 2016

Haha It's all good.

Here are pics of both turbos with the compressor housings off. Can see the wheels more clearly

I wonder why they went with a batmo. I've heard that in tests they were worse than a standard wheel

I had always heard the same as well. That's why I'm skeptical. I messaged Tadd and asked him why the switch to a Batmo...I'll see what he says.

Although I'll offer this, most of the data I saw on Batmo wheels were on single turbo setups and the few that were in compounded setups, usually the wheel was only in the LP Atmo turbo and not the HP VGT (if it was a VGT HP). So maybe in a VGT setup it may do better, I honestly have no idea, I'm just thinking out loud.
