He is always trying to get me to take him for "test drives" as he calls em.

So far this turbo feels great but its been raining since this morning so I can't get on it at all God mocks me again

Just under 1000hp from what was posted by Doc turbo and Jose.

Looks like they have a supra making some serious power with it so far 900 if I remember right.

I just ordered one last thursday from Jz I am gonna run it with my Hi-FLo kit! I too am shooting for only 650 rwhp on 91 octane. The turbo won't even be working hard. It was the only 76 mm under a grand and it is a very nice unit.

Forcefed how has the setup been doin?

Been driving it nearly everyday since I put the TC76 on. This turbo spools fast. 5psi happens too quick. But so far i've only been to 9psi. Seems I have a boost leak that I can't find

I keep getting the same feedback from all our TC and T customers. One of our customers bought twin 76's from us and put it on his new 402 LS1. He posted it spooled faster then his old combo that was on the car which was a 347 with Twin PT61's on a C5 vette.

When you say it spools fast, how does it compare to the little MPT-70 you were running for a little while? I'm selling my big Garrett TV series turbo and am in the market for another. It's between that one, a Turbonetics T76GTQ and a Precision PT76GTSH. Might be giving Jose a call this week. Also, how audible is that turbo? I've heard some are quite loud and some are very quiet.

Its VERY quiet on my car, you can't hear it at all compared to my Gt42.

It spools just as fast as the MPT70, no lie. I'll have to get an incar vid of it, part throttle it'll hit 5psi fast.

For the price and warranty it can't be beat.

Kyle, buddy i'm trying my *** off I have all the IC pipes and silicone couplers off right now and all "seems" to be good

I'll be going out right now to buy some new t bolts from napa and reinstall.

I wonder if my valve springs are shot.....you guys think that if the springs were shot that boost production would be crappy?

Doc Turbo, I'm happy with the TC76 now I just have to get the car to make power with it.....
TIA

Yep KP listed a whole PN list in a thread a page back. I bought 6 today for 24 bucks. Oh and they have a nice liner so nothing digs into the silicone. My old HTS clamps didn't have this feature.

Didn't have to dick around with shipping and got what I needed in about 15 minutes. Definately going back for some more as my HTS clamps were pretty shot.

Have you blocked the wastegate?? And blocked the BOV off??? That will definitely bring up the boost if their isn't a leak in the IC.

I was going to swap out the IC with another one I have here to see if that biotch is leaking first....easier to do.

If that proves pointless, then i'll block the BOV and WG.

I did check the clamps on both the BOV and WG yesterday while I was working on the car, both tight. No signs of exhaust leaks at attachment points either (header to x over, turbo flange, WG flange)

Anything that it might be internally??? Valvesprings are a lil on the old side...
