Who has rode the BD 2860 with intercooler vs 2860 with Tial housing and stainless exhaust?
Is it worth the grand they charge?

I've owned and built many 800cc two stroke turbos. They have all had 2860's on them. I think it is a very good turbo for boondocking and lower boost applications. The main benefit of a 2860 over a 2871 or 2876 is spool time. I've ridden both of these other turbos on similar setups to mine and found them to have much more lag then the 2860. If your building one for point and shoot them I would recommend something other than the 2860, but if this is your first turbo you will be very happy with boondockers internally wastegated 2860. I have found this turbo to work excellent up to 12 psi. It will make more boost but it is not very efficient past this point. This of course is just my .02 cents.
interesting, i have seen the exact opposite. 2860 spooling the worst, 2871 better, 3071 best. would like to get out and ride along side one and compare and see how they stack up.I've owned and built many 800cc two stroke turbos.

That is very odd, as the 2870 and 3070 series turbos have larger housings and heavier compressor wheels. I would guess that the 2860('s) that you rode were either set up or tuned incorrectly, causing the lag.interesting, i have seen the exact opposite. 2860 spooling the worst, 2871 better, 3071 best. would like to get out and ride along side one and compare and see how they stack up.

AO, played with the GTX 2863 a bit last season, and spoke with several guys that race RMSHA that did as well. Our general consensus was that the top end was definitely better, but that the bottom was not nearly as crisp as the standard 2860. The GTX 2860 Tial, is going to be the ticket this season I think. Very similar characteristics as the standard 2860 for spool up, with a lighter billet wheel, and a better top end. Of course the Tial exhaust side as well.
I would think so, but it would probably be about a wash as far as cost. I also don't know how readily available parts to do that are. You would need the wheel, compressor housing, Tial exhaust housing, and maybe a couple other pieces. Again, I'm not sure you could even make this work, I'm just guessing the center cartridge is the same.Can you take a GT2860 and convert it to a GTX2860?
