Default New Turbo's arrived!
Apparently there was a misunderstanding or the salesman was confused, but none the less they are a Turbonetics T76mm Ball bearing turbo, BUT they have the T4 3in. exhaust housing just like my old turbo's instead of the 4in. outlet! That is good , because I already bolted them up onto the car and they actually fit under the hood still! Anyway's, they are still rated for the 900-950hp each, so i am happy, and do not have to have new exhaust! I will get some pics up later. Going testing tommorrow night!

Maybe its a blessing in disguise. The 3" outlets might help a little more on the lower midrange power. I doubt they'd limit you at all up top. Best of luck, keep us updated!

Yes. My main concern is that they are capable of making the power that I am looking for next year.

Twin 3" DP's is enough for 1800-1900hp on petro.
