Garrett BB turbo's? I'm posting to ask if any of you guy's have tried these. That's assuming you have them in the US. I've been looking myself at a pair of GT28's and maybe the GT30's but think 2 of them could be big, unsure which to try. Anybody tried them? This is for a stock rpm engine but on 7:1 c/r with a shed full of boost. I'm interested in other options as well if you can make any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
Re: Garrett BB turbo's? These are the same turbos that incon used. They are a great turbo. The part number on my CHRAs is, 700177-0011. These were the larger turbos offered with the Incon kit.
The smaller turbos that were offered were 446179-0032s I believe.

Re: Garrett BB turbo's? Not too bad Mike, thanks. The car is finally up and running (drove it around on Sunday)!
I am still working out a few little bugs, then I will be off to the track...

Re: Garrett BB turbo's? Hi Scott, will you keep me posted on your progress? I hope you have fun!. I'm still waiting for my kicks but the current build is 7:1c/r and I want big kicks. I'm looking at these GT28 or 30's quite seriously. They seem to be the biz but are very expensive over here. I'm also looking for a good turbo cam, probably with low or zero overlap. Any pointers? I have limited access to those Holset HX40 units. Do you know if they have been used on the LS1? Are you using after market management?
