Good converter companies for turbo cars

They are custom built. It depends on what you need. I can tell you that they are on the low end of premium converter pricing scale (like Chance and Coan). A full blown bad boy converter like in LS2Formula's car is $1200ish. Something like mine is $800ish. The main ting being that he has tons of big power STREET fbody experience. It's alot tougher to make a converter that doesn't build alot of heat and is tight under light throttle conditions but loosens up to 4500 stall under load.

Circle D and FTI. If you saw a circle D converter, you would put it in a glass case in your house under lights and not in your tranny. I am going to be using them for my turbo build in the future. I am glad to see some of the guys on here are having luck with PTC. I have had 2 converters from them and had no luck with them. They both fried transmissions. When we rebuilt the trannies and put different converters in them they are still running til this day.

I run a vortex converter...youve probably never heard of them though. the guy machines and builds them in his garage, but theyre cheap, billet, and work awesome
mine works great, alot of local detroit guys run them and quite a few are running in the 7's and 8s with no issues
