That was me who posted under aquatbats name too. I paid $650 for mine. Its only plain bearing thought. I think it was $200 extra for ball bearing. How can you go wrong same warrenty as garret and 1/3 price Just got off the phone to my bloke and it is grant who i got mine off. ill post pics up soon PICS: Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

these are the ones guys grab em and as for the 600 700hp turbo just chance the rear houseing my turbo is only capable of 500hp with my tiny 0.68 rear but put a bigger rear on and it makes more and grant opened my box un bolted the 1.32 rear and bolted on my .68 on and handed it to me that easy same rear wheel thru the range and been proven not so much on rb 30s yet but seiriously even a garrett has warantey claims and i bet u could dig up a thred or 2 of when garrett hasent come good for one reson or another Quote: Originally Posted by aquabat One of my mates organised it for me from aus rotary.

he has some dyno results il call him and get some dyno sheets of some cars with his turbos pumps gates ect as mine is miles away from a tune Quote: Originally Posted by misk any dyno results from this turbo? whats the spool times like? first off thats not one of grants t66s as the front cover is a different cast ie has those 2 round cast marks near outlet are not on grants t66 houseings and is too shiny grants have the dull garrett look to em not that el cheapo look of a monsta Quote: Originally Posted by misk looks to be exactly the same as this one! think i might have to grab one also i was over grants the sarv and first off the he said that the t66 we are talking about here has a t04z p trim rear wheel with a t66 front cover and his custom front wheel and hasnt had one of these returned yet and come in the 4 rear sizes so theres one to suit everyone also he has new t66 front wheels on way with maching covers bigger ones as this is the biggest ar70 cover u can get ar70 only means the outside diameter of the outlet is 2.5" and the inlet is 4"out side diamiter not inside its how much the cover has been mechiened inside that counts and how big the wheel is behind it as for dyno sheets he is getting me some and ill pick em up after work sataday and will up load strait away also he made mention a certan white 8 sec qld car on here is running some of his parts (just replacement 044s at this point)but im sure he could vouch for the qlty of grants gear and grants service Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
