Has anybody used a Tv8101 turbo? What engine did you have it on, what power did it make, how did it spool? Thanks

We have used 8101's in the past. Only problem was the A/R is a WAY large. You can cross breed though and use a housing off an 8102 which is a smaller 1.08. The TV series is mostly all Detroit diesel turbos and are heavy and fairly old in design. Most of your typical 8X's are 76-85mm.

BTW, most of the time we use them on BBC and big cube SBC's. Anything less is hard to spool them with.

Thanks. Do they have a T6 flange? You can sometimes find them for real cheap. They would work ok for mocking up. Are they bigger in physical size then say a pt88 or gt42?

Yes T6, and yes they are physically quite large. Bigger then a PT88 and a touch more then the GT42's.

Jose,
I'm sorry i was told it was a tv85 but it is actually on a number of different turbos....

Garret part#'s are as follows:
466008-2
466008-3
466008-4
466038-1
466926-1

and the covers are mostly found on TV8117 or TV8301 ...then i need the backing plate that goes with which ever cover i get...
