What doese a turbo car need? low stall about 4000

Steel stator, or Aluminum stator

Will both work, just curious?

Steel works and holds up the best at withstanding the heat and stress in a turbo application. The steel stator has various fin angles and fin counts available as it's alum. counterpart so it will function the same as it, the only difference is in the weight of each and the extra wear and tear the steel(heavier) stator puts on the sprag or diode assem. Hope this helps you you a little.

You turbo guys need a steel stator cause you like to get everything glowing red hot inside the trans and the aluminum is not interested. Thats as in depth as we need to go.

Hutch, you do have a way of getting everything in perspective and to the point...LOL....and oh so true!

One has less welding. Hand fabricated steel stators have the fin welded at both ends , billets just on the outer edge.

I have noticed the hand fabricated stators have non-aero fins.

Have you, or anybody else, noticed an appreciable difference in performance from a stator with aerodynamic fins?
