New custom turbo
New custom turbo Hey guys thought I would post this up.I recieved my new custom turbo from Jose and Jason at Forcedinductions.com.Sorry for the picture quality since its a video camera taking stills.This is going on one of my race trucks and buying another for our race car!!!
The trick about this turbo is the compressor wheel.Its a custom full forged billet machine wheel, no casted wheel
.I must say the wait was well worth it. Damn the wheel is light and just blings.The pictures don't do it justice.I hate to put the compressor cover back on,which by the way is a hybrid piece as well.I spoke to jason and he said they have designed some new larger wheels already.Up to 90mm I believe 
. These guys are the poop 
I have the new compressor cover next to a standard GT42....GT42 is on the left.

so its going in the gt42 unit, if they can get that all the way up to 90mm, no reason to really buy the gt4788.
or if they can get the gt4276 all the way to 90, just think what they could do with the 4788.
jose and his crew are amazing at this "turbo" stuff

Ed,I ask Jose about going bigger on the GT42.He said the largest they can go is 81mm. They said they have gone larger to test it,but he mentioned something about compressor inducer vs turbine exducer ratio being to much or something like that,so the maximum they will go is 80 on a gasonline car.I blew my GT42 up and sent it to them for a rebuild and when I got it back the shaft broke again.Jason told me the GT42 wouldn't hold with big boost on a compound setup(shaft to small)......should have listened the first time..haha.As for this being a GT42, its not. The compressor cover on the left is a GT42 (old unit), but my custom cover is on the right...bigger cover. Not sure what they call that turbo yet. I don't think they have named it quite yet.Cutting edge stuff though.Heck they are doing the R&D for some of the big name companies i believe,so they must know soemthing about turbo...haha. I will be seeing them soon again to see what they are cooking up.

,but designed for quick boost over top end lag monster.Its a turbo that is best of both worlds so to speak.This unit I ordered it as a 70mm to replace my GT4202.I can't wait to see their 86mm version big frame and 90.I know they have a new prototype titanium wheel for the smaller units I believe its like a 60mm. That would be awesome to see as a 88 or something large. So how much is this new cover and wheel??
If i understand you right those of us with a GT42 already can buy the new cover and wheel and go from there????
Or send it in to JZ......?????
Im sure JZ will chime in here soon.................

No these units are complete.I don't think the parts will swap back and forth,but I could be wrong.I will assemble the turbo and take some pictures of it.I asked for an internally gate housing for this unit and they were able to get me a housing and custom machine it.Looks killer.They have nonwastegated housings as well for it I believe.As for pricing I paid 1599+ shipping for it.

New billet 90mm and 86mm wheel are almost done
Also we have some carbon fiber backing plates, and T6061 billet Al center sections.
