Re: turbo's..
I doubt the roadster Brabus one is exactly the same size as the regular roadster turbo?
My reasoning is that the other 2 size turbo's are known to have the tik pipe size matched to the turbo inlet. We know the brabus tik is larger in diameter, so it stands to reason that the turbo inlet must be bigger also. IE the same diameter as the brabus tik.

Plus..

The smart arse site says..

"Brabus 74kw 101bhp Turbo
This turbo has a larger volume turbine housing and impeller and compressor wheels as well as ceramic coated turbine housing. Not currently available for sale in the aftermarket. This is fitted to the Brabus 101."

Having said all that, from the little info I have seen, the brabus 101 turbo doesnt seem to offer much, if any power advantages over the regular roadster turbo. Its probably more a durability benefit..

T33NEY you are absolutley correct, the intake on the 74kw unit is indead bigger (if you look at the inlet its actually re-machined)

In inlet impeller again is different (match to the new sized inlet)

Think of it as a factory hybrid version of the 60kw unit.

It certainly is a bit more persuasive than the 60kW turbo! Fun all the way!

Impellor housing also has a different A/R
