Default Turbo Recommendations

I need some help deciding what turbocharger to run for my set-up. I will be running a 370 ci. (4.030x3.622) Iron block and AFR's. I need a single charger in the smallest housings(limited space). Please give me some suggestions or ask me the questions I need to answer before making my selection.

Where is the best place to purchase one of these in a reasonable amount of time. My fabricator is waiting on the charger.

We can purchase the unit for you as well as any anobody else, but the wait time on those units in not speedy. Your looking at several weeks before we even get a shipping date from PTE. Right now PTE is at the mercy of Garrett.

In the world of mass production, small lot products like the components in the 76GTS get squeezed in when they don't have something better to do. These are not parts that just sit on the shelf in most cases waiting for us to buy them from one of their many distributors.

Jose is saying that he is seeing the backorder issues with PT&E (and Garrett is the likely cause there) for the PT-76GTS from his shop. He's just noting that it's probably going to be the same for any shop that you call right now including calling PT&E direct, because of the popularity of that turbo.

So the sooner you choose your source and get on the list, the better off you'll be.

Yeah, Garrett direct is way behind as well. I can get some units though in my hand fairly fast though.

The 76GTS is just a GT42 with a 76 front side. The biggest power maker will be the GT42-76 with the T6 exhaust side.

The best thing to do is get the unit from Eviltwin, and send it to me. I can have it rebuilt direct at PTE.
