Here is some wonderfful news from Ats!

Would it be reasonable to modify a hypermax setup to sustain 20 PSI? What's the general rule for the max boost they support out of the box?

I didn't even cut the bottom off, it just popped into place after rolling it into the other grommet. I believe thats the right part number too.

Had to cut the bottom off as it was baffled. I don't want anything impeding the flow of oil at all. Will post some pics up of the install tomorrow.

X2, If I buy another turbo, It'll be Hypermax. By then it may be the only one left

Ooh it was baffled? Hmm. I wonder if they updated the part or if there is in fact some difference there between the part # you ended up getting and the part that I had sitting around from the crank case evac system we use in our race engines. It would be nice if we could get the same piece that I used that way theres no cutting involved.

I was able to get all the parts I needed for my used Wastegated Banks turbo for the crew cab. Weird stuff too. Seems Banks is still hanging in there, but for how long?

The boost you get out of anybody's turbo is going to be a function of the A/R ratio. Something I don't really understand much about, but Hypermax doesn't make the actual turbo itself. Parts are interchangeable with other Garrett models I would suspect.

If ATS isn't going to make the part any longer, why not call them up and ask for the engineering data or drawings so that a suitable replacement can be located or made?

My understanding from when I got parts frothem was as long as supplies last. I'm pretty sure it was for all IDI stuff, not just my first gen.

With any luck, Hypermax will get enough business from everyone else bailing that they can keep supporting us for a while.
