Hey my new turbo has finally arrived got droped off at the post office in the states on the 16th of March, paid for priority shipping which is 4-10business days, it arrived on the 12th of April! Wasnt happy but it was worth the wait Some specs on it, its a custom Garrett by SP in the states BB centre 0.60ar front cover with 5" inlet/3" v-band outlet all polished 1.28ar split T4 rear housing with 4" v-band outlet ceramic coated front wheel is bigger than a 76mm Garrett rear wheel is SMALLER than the rear wheel in a 76mm Garrett im not releasing the exact sizes of the wheels as its there own custom turbo the turbo is rated at about 1300hp+ and can put down 1050rwhp+ on a dynojet at mid30s boost with a manual been told it will go 1150rwhp on a dynojet with my rear housing on 40+boost with a manual as for when it will be finished, still waiting on parts for my motor to arrive which will be in the next couple weeks also ordering my rather large cams next week so they should be here in bout 3-4weeks also trying to decide whether to get some forgies or not, i want higher than std CR but 1s i can get for a good price are a bit to high so will see what happens heres some pics cheers Troy And heres some photos of it dummied up in the bay Manifold will be made in the next couple weeks CANT WAIT!!
