better quality, burst containment rated turbine housings. The new GTX wheel offers a more competitive product in X275 racing. I'm very excited about the potential this setup will offer given the current class rules.

Seems a few guys are going after the weight break with the GTX 5588 setup. Are you going to run their big a/r housing (over 2.0)?
