As for The 308 Shop, avoid them like the plague, I wouldn't take my lawnmower there, they have a worse reputation then Sydney Speed Supplies...

Centre tangetial housings are ****. they are a pain in the ass both in design and flow. I can make you a kit, depends on what money you want to spend and how fast you want to go. My number is [phone removed]. I originally built TTV80, the VH commodore that was on the front cover of the last Street Machine, makes 788rwhp on 20psi, pump gas. Cheers......................6BOOST

Cheers......................6BOOST There are many ways to cut the cake Another option is a GT42 Which are $1750 and have a little less overall flow. Im sure if Tang turbo's were ****, Garrett would have ceased production many years ago. The fact that they have been used for the past 20 years should say something for their reliability and flow. Most problems come from poor runner choice/grouping. For $1500 for 2x Brand new (garrett) turbo's with warranty, price per $ is very attractive. I can also supply these with a single entry flange- No problem, same price! They are small enough for a mild engine and big enough to make an easy 400 rw hp with some DYI work.

They are off deisel trucks, I don't wish to get into semantics over them, but they are only like $600 each to buy as replacements for said deisel engines, my turbo supplier only really deals in deisel engines and has about 20 of them sitting on the shelf in boxs, I'm sure their reliability is just fine, its not like they'd fall apart, but I'm yet to see a single performance turbo or performance car in the world that is running a $700 turbo, OR a centre Tangential exhuast housing. Just my 2cents, not having even a remotely direct dig at you about them, i just think they are sh1t, please don't even remotely take it personally. 6BOOST
