10/27 Turbo Upgrades For all the e-mails and calls about the new turbos....this will help with some of the new questions... All these are new units or upgrades if you already own the exsisting unit.

GT45-76 - 1200hp
GT42-78 - 1250hp
GT42-80 - 1275hp
GT42-82 - 1350hp
For exsisting 72-76GTS owners we have an (80mm) upgrade...or 80GTS.
Other new upgrades and units are coming. E-mail or call us if you want something that is not listed. We can do custom units as well.
All units are fully balanced.

These turbos are built to bridge that HP gap between the big PT88 and 76GTS. Some people just can't fit the PT88. This will require nothing being done to the exsisting setups, but yet it will allow for more hp.

Yes....I hate modifying my dang kit. I want the easy way to make more power. This will solve all the problems. Also we have some more new wheels that have been designed, but not yet released to the public yet on their way to us. We plan to get them here and do the finishing on the casting and then drill them for whatever shaft size we need. We hope the tip height on these will allow us to use them on some of the other units as well. Most of these are smaller 56mm all the way to 70mm.
Old wheels are left, new wheel on the right.

John are you talking about the current design on the new revamped design?? If its the current design, I don't like it. ITS is the only one that seems to have a good DBB setup and its rebuildable.
