This is a picture of the race cover GTM vs TC76 posted by Dr Turbo. I'd like to see a pic of a standard T76 vs a TC76 cover.

TC is the siver cover in the middle of the first picture. Black is the race cover. TC is laying on top of the black race cover in the second picture.

the TC has a much smaller cover but isn't it close to the T76 in horsepower potential?

That's a TC vs a T76 Race GTM cover.

TC76 has a cut down 60 series E compressor cover on it...small for packaging.

T76 (aka HP76 or Gtk1000) comes with a "S" series compressor cover standard which is bigger than a TC76 60 series E cover.

T76 Race Cover is that big black GTM cover...it's a horse...

OK let me see if I understand this the TC76 is a smaller packaged turbo, a step down in power potential to the T76, the race cover is a larger compressor than the T76? What kind of power can you make with a TC76 on a 346 LS1?

The race cover is a larger cover on a T76 compressor wheel. All three have T76 compressor wheels...just three different covers.

TC76 should be good for +700rwhp on a 346.

let me get this straight....

a TC76 includes an E cover? that's 3" inlet x 2" outlet.... how is that possible when 76mm is pretty much exactly 3"? Did I read that correctly?

Technically, not a "true E" cover, but a "60 series" cover.....

The TC uses a 4" inlet cover not the 3" inlet E-cover. Also the GTM cover is the same used on the Y2K, so it will FLOW baby!

Will it affect performance using a 4" to 3" silicone reducer on the turbo inlet?

No, as long as the filter on the end is large enough.

Does that mean All TC units are this size?
I was under the impression that the TC67 came in an E cover, or 3" X 2".

We can build them with the 3" cover if you want as well.
