yes the GTM cover.

so basically ill have a turbo that will be nasty on stock ls1 that will be perfect on a motor up to 400cid and maybe 900ish hp with just a hotside housing change, correct? im not real familiar with the power potential for the HP billet wheels with a gtm cover.

AND, when people pop the hood it will be HIGHLY deceiving

Yes the GTM cover is nice indeed. We will dyno one soon with a billet wheel and 347 with the new turbine wheel as soon as its all ready.

How big of a wheel we looking at? Stock is 68.5 or something right? Can we get a sneak peek of the AR's your gonna offer?

Man i think im pretty maxed out trying to hit 700whp on my car with a 370ci. If you guys did do this and went with a big exhaust wheel size man that would just be amazing. If it was a 78 or maybe over 80mm exhaust wheel i would be loving life! and a 1.35ar housing!

Ill be one of the firsts on the list then. im scribing to this tread now and ill be watching out.

But I think ive heard many rumors about tc 76-78 upgrades but its never happened from the past. So don't let me down!

Well the current largest wheel offered is the 82/75 GTS turbine.....this turbine will be the specs of 83/76. To get 80mm exducer, then you need to switch to a GT45 style charger or one of our 87/80 LDP Borg Warner turbine wheels.

Working on them as we speak. Hopefully in just a few more weeks. We will CNC the GTM covers here and only takes a few days.

Yes...and a lot less bucks. Mid-frames are built on a "GT42ish" style platform and BB only. These units are still the smaller style TO4 frames and offered in non-BB platform.

I'm running twin TC67 turbos. What turbos are close to the same size but will give me the ability to make more power. I've made 800 on 15#, but would like to make 1000 on 20#. I'm running a 408 LSX block with TFS 245 heads.

TC76's would easily hit those #'s and drop in place of your current chargers. Let us know, we can beat anyone's price on them.

Housings are the same as the mid-frame except for the turbine housing. Different casting. Turbo will come in sooner due to a lighter shaft design, but maybe 1% or so down on turbine flow due to the casting difference.

I'm in the market for a unit and am looking at the 7876 for my 383. What turbine A/R do you recommend and do you offer a V band inlet/outlet?

They are T4 only on the inlet, but V-band is the outlet. As for that size motor with this size turbine wheel I would jump straight to the 1.15A/R housing. Spool good and won't choke up top. With that turbine wheel it should pull clean to 7K+.

For those that PM'ed us.....yes we will match a GP price. As long as that GP is valid.
