Default Anyone using Turbo Tech T-76 Kit?

Anyone out there using the t-76 kit? I checked the compressor map and found it is the best for the LS1 at any boost. I am just wondering about how well they perform.

i reccomend holding out until the ls1 motorsports kit is available.. but if you insist on the turbo tech.. properly tuned you can get around 500 on a stock bottom end..

number of people who have surpassed 500 sucessfully for a noteable length of time.. 1 (rob raymer of ls1 motorsports)

i was running 450ish at the tires when my motor went. it is all in the tuning.

IT probably makes more HP TQ at more psi then our engines can take, even built ones.
Supra guys usaly run 28-30 psi with that turbo, granted its a wimpy 3.0L

I love mine. i cracked a ringland with too little fuel i think but that is being worked on. I think the kit is pretty good...especially if you find a good deal used

MIGHTYMOUSE,

How much boost were you running before the engine blew?

Got another question. Do you happen to know the IAT reading at full boost whatever that may be?

I was thinking about getting it for an Lt1 motor,so I am not really worrying about turning up the boost and lifting heads.

Do you guys know at what psi this turbo would make it's max rated power (880-900) FLYWHEEL HP at?
