Default Tc76 Arrived!!!!

After many weeks, hours and minutes the TC76 has arrived

This is Forced Inductions latest turbo for those of us on a budget.






Jose set me up with a MPS wheel as well. Can't wait to start putting this thing on. Its a .96 a/r 76mm unit.

Hopefully this will be my last turbo.... for this year


Oh yeah, Tnetics packaged it awesome. I have to bring this up because my last two turbos were packaged like ***. This one was in the box you see in the pics, stuffed with thick packaging paper. That box was in another bigger box stuffed with air pillow packaging. No damage to either box from shipping Two fed ex deliveries to my house in one day is just One for computer stuff and the next delivery was the turbo..different driver and truck tho...oh well just glad it showed.



Sorry for bugging Jose and Dr. Turbo.....I'm the type of guy who next day air all his parts, so waiting for things to show isn't my thing

Yeah I got a shiny one too Although everyone says the polished ones are out of style...bling never goes out of style

Heading out right now. Got to go buy a 1/8npt plug for the compressor cover and some more header wrap because I can't find my stash in my messy garage LOL.
But it should be up by tonight.

Nice!!! Glad to see it arrived! Thought about telling you t-netics sent everyone who ordered a turbo a tracking number, that would have made you sweat for a day!

****** LS1tech LOL I just responded and it never appeared WTF???

Fletch, that would be hardcore, I was already sweating it when the first Fed ex truck showed up with my computer stuff and no turbo.

I don't know what the "C" means, its just what Jose@Forced Inductions said they were going to call em for now?

I'll let Jose or Dr Turbo post up about the price, they intro'ed em at a low price and quite a few of us...from what I understand jumped at the price. I don't know if the intro price is good and i'd hate to quote a price that is no longer right. It did go for under a grand though.

00LS1, the coke can is on the table in the background...

Physically its the same size as a lot of 70-76mm turbos out there. 2.5 outlet on the compressor housing, 4inch inlet. 3 inch outlet on the exhaust housing, V band.
Weighs in at 25lbs.

Install will have to wait until tomorrow after work, its raining now

Hope it works well too. The price was excellent as was the service, glad Dr turbo kept us informed of where our turbos were.

Depends on how big your budget is.

This turbo is pretty much as budget as you can get and still have a great turbo. A 76mm Turbonetics turbo for under a grand...

Its a great replacement for MP turbo. Stronger shaft, better wheels, more hp potential/capacity and a absolutely awesome warranty all for a couple hundred more than a MPT70.

Great bang for the buck.

It was a tad less than 1K, but I don't know if they are still selling em at that price.

They also have BB units for not much more

If you ordered direct, you paid quite a bit more. Should have called us

That is correct. We have them and the BB's. We have more coming for stock. Also the BB's are a big bang for the buck.
