I still have my s1 cartridges for sale if anyone wants to make an offer. Great backups for when yours need rebuilding. 570 a peice to rebuild yours....mine are in excellent condition according to Blouch turbo and can be had for much less
Man you should have let us know. We could have done them here local for you. And probably cheaper as well.

And how long to turn them around..........
cablebandit, can you send me some pictures of exactly what parts you have available? ryan212@aol.com
I have a set of incon manifolds, and dump tubes, but no turbo parts and am looking at turbo options, I am not looking for more than around 550rwhp, so the smaller parts are not a problem for me.
Thanks

yes i can. i have the center sections. Blouch can get you the exhaust housings for 185 ea. Then you need the compressor housings and they are custom though i bet he could do them if he had some to copy. I have the intercoolers too but they are not in the greatest shape.
OH...I got it running but I have no 4th gear...prolly gonna have to ****** the tranny as its brand new. Hopefully it is something simple but it will be a free fix for me either way. Gonna drive it anyway with 3rd and lockup and break it all in

I will test my Fuddle in a bit in 2nd gear. It seems to flash to around 2600-2700. I need to actually log it instead of looking at the tach. The boost comes on a lot slower now. I am going to venture and say it starts at 3500. Unlike the smaller turbos, 17 psi is definitely more power than 16 psi. With the smaller ones, I couldnt tell any difference from 16-20psi. A lot of this is hard to tell right now because i am getting used to the tightness of the converter. I have never had a converter hold my car....they would always flash to 5800 from a roll and of course it was very fast feeling. I do know it wont spin the tires from a light now. I tried the t-brake today, that joker got to 4000 rpms before i let off the gas and it would have kept climbing. I think i saw 7 psi but not sure. I will definitely be using Harlans 2 step to limit rpm. Thats it for know...no really firm info but i will gather some data today.

I'm wondering if more cubes would be a benefit or not with these bigger cartridges.....or will they still be better sized to stock cubes since the housings themselves are not any larger.
Maybe we'll just have to spin the motor higher to take advantage of the better flow? I'm was thinking about a 364" LS2...now I'm thinking 380+ cubes with the larger cartridges....don't want to make a mistake though and have an oversized motor for the turbos.
The info you gather will be very beneficial.
