We are working on a New TC series unit coming my friends. Same package...but now has a 83/76mm turbine wheel . Will update as soon as the rest of the info is done. Also we plan to offer them with larger comp covers as well....including the GTM cover.

Probably will be only complete turbos. If Tnetics gives us the ok to CNC the housings for upgrades we will do it. But for right now I can only say for certain that the units will come as complete units right now.

What is the ETA on these new units? Right now i am on the fence between a TC78 (for its power potential and small packaging) and a PT76GTS.

They are almost the same size but the Precesion is a far better unit.

Only until the 83mm turbine come out for the TC...... Right now the 80mm F-1 turbine wheel doesn't flow on the exhaust side what the larger 82mm GT42/GTS turbine flows.

That is what I figured when the new units come out.

If you want to take the drive to Rochester, you're welcome to check out my front mount with the PT7875. It's easier to get an idea when you can see it.

I ran the TC76 for 3 years and now the 7875. The TC was a good unit, I really don't have any complaints about it. It served me very well. The Precision however spools almost as fast and carries a lot more up top, especially once you get over ~15 psi.

The TC is a good deal smaller though. I had to do a little work to get the 7875 in it's place.
