Nice!
How does the one on the link I posted compare to that in capability? Any big difference between the 6 bolt dp flanges and v band?

The only difference I can tell between this one and the magnum is the exhaust housing. Other than that it looks the same. The clearences are very good and spins very freely
I HATE YOU!!

We have had ZERO issues with the tc76 ot tc78 turbos, can get new for 800
well obviously you can make more with the 7675 than a t76 copy with a 65mm exhaust wheel. This one should be a much better comparison with a 77mm wheel.
WTF are you talking about? he said TC turbos, not the 7675 he's running now.

it isn't on yet, something funny we noticed on the housing and it is pretty obvious now. Looks like the compressor cover just had the magnum polished off of it. There appears to have the remnants of either the M or the A left over.

You can just not buy them... Evidence seems to be showing that the regular old eBay GT45 performs just as well or better anyway. Maybe people are drawn to the fancy compressor cover?

there is no disputing the GT45 is an amazing turbo for like base price of 260, sheesh

i would argue that it is the best turbo you can get for these motors, works great on the small and big motors and 400-600whp is an easy swing wich is what most people want.

i would love to see a 45 nail down over 700 on someones setup.

When 02Camaross bought his Cx was selling them for $500ish so that to me would say they being CX Racing paid less than $250 for it...

I was just pointing out the fact that they are not worth $1100

Haha I really think the only difference between this one am a magnum is the turbine hosing. This one has kebo cast into it which is a Chinese turbo manufacturer, but the rest has to be magnum. The $260 gt45 is badass for the price and I believe this turbo shares the same turbine as that one but instead of a 68mm compressor, this one has an 80mm, apparently the magnum 80mm compressor haha
