Default Tc78 ar?

I am looking at the TC78 turbo from turbonetics to use on my 06 GTO with a stock bottom end and a 6speed. I only see one exhaust AR of T4 with 0.96, I don't see any other size ever shown for them and I feel this may be small for my setup. I do not plan on building a bigger motor, but if and when this motor gets hurt I will just build another 6.0 with good rods and pistons. Also only looking for 7-8psi on this motor.

My questions are
-Is there other AR's for this turbo
-will the 0.96 be fine with this setup


Tell me what you guys think!

I would look into the T-netics 7875 or 7675. Contact Huron Speed for great deal no matter which one you decide on

I can get you the TC78 in .81 or .96 open, or the 1.15 divided. No problem, I usually keep a .96 and 1.15 in stock as well, no price difference either!

The new 7675 or 7875 T-series from them might better suit your goals. Features a 75mm turbine wheel as opposed to the 68mm wheel in the TC turbos. Let me know and I would be glad to answer any questions you may have or get you set-up!

If you want to stay with the TC78, I would recommend the 1.15 a/r

How bad do you think the back pressure will be on the 68mm wheel with the 1.15ar? I will never run over 6500-6700rpm with this motor and it will only be a street car.

backpressure will be at least 2:1 at 7-8lbs so somewhere probably around 20lbs Im sure BUT it will be manageable because you wont be boosting to the moon with it. BTW for a 6speed 1.15 will work but .96 will be better. I would get a 1.15 if I had plans of going auto later...

Because I don't want to spend that kind of money on a turbo and I'm looking for a turbo that will fit under my hood with out cutting the car up. If it will not work I will start looking at other turbos in $700 range.

As stated, it will work, but it won't be the most ideal. Backpressure probably will be a little on the high side. I would definitely go with the 1.15 a/r if you do choose this turbo however to help as much as possible! Hard to beat the TC series for the price and quality of a turbo you receive for it. They work terrific on the 5.3's, the 5.7's and 6.0's are on the edge for the 68mm turbine.

The entire turbo itself is slightly larger being it is a T-series, over the 60-series covers that the TC "Hurricane" turbos use:
