my tc76 has never been run, If i were to send it in I think I would rather trade it in.
my tc76 for a new
tc78 with a race cover and f176
what would the extra cost be?

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.

ya know the more I think about it a TC7876 with a GTM and billet wheel will be a helluva lot of turbo in a very small package, whats the ETA on them hitting the market?

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.

how will the power compare though come in faster but not make as much cuz of smaller housings?
i got the big BB midframe think it will work really well for a wild street ride and tear it up at the track...

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.

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