I won't lie. I thought about deleting it and acting like our server had an issue. Of course I would have saved the message to post back up for you.

 

Nice, Nice but very labor intensive from your writings, man I am tired from reading all that, interesting though.

 

Thats good **** man. Nice write up

 

Thanks for all the nice things said, it is appreciated, I'm glad your initial impressions are good ones it seemed like this was going to be one let down after another for both you and me, I knew the turbo itself wouldn't be dissapointing though, just not what you originally wanted. The GT wheels are the best thing going even if you ask around the turbo industry you will be very hard pressed for anyone to say there are wheels that provide the map width and performance, also the turbine wheels are considered at the top as well. I'm really glad to be able to get ahold of these turbos the way I can, it's a little funny because the GT40R still isn't offically released by Garrett USA yet and that is why there is a slight supply problem. I'm very fortunate in the sense that I can get ahold of some of there newest stuff before even there Master Distributors can, as silly as it sounds I've even had to supply them with a few GT's at one time.This is good because I can provide you guys with some of the newest and best turbo's out there, which is my main goal, and they have a few more coming, within the next few months that will fill a few needed gaps. Back on topic. It will be interesting to see how well this setup does for you and a good comparison for everyone. I think the 40R with the slightly larger comp wheel on our manifold will definitely perform very well in both response and power up top. We will see, please keep us informed and I wish you the best on your little experiment.

Agreed.



I love it when people share their knowledge and experience.. I've learned so much from reading **** like this. GREAT jobber!

 

I am sure I have left many things out (too tired from work lately) and as I think of stuff, Ill post it. As Sean said, I talked to several turbo distributors and all said the new Garrett stuff was so far out in front of what everyone else was doing that it wasnt funny. Theyre definitely the hottest products on the market.



Here is a pic of the turbo installed. Yes, I know the coupler isnt connected to the compressor outlet Still trying to figure out a completely secure way to attach a hose to the end. I may have to mill the lip down slightly. It is designed for a Vband. Strangely enough, the turbo w/the custom elbow actually lines up better with the GReddy IC pipe than it did with the GReddy turbo.

 

Excellent write up man. Expecially since I'm looking for that same kit for my car, but just waiting for people to try it and tell me what they think. NEEd more info on it. How much is the kit from aspec again??



I salute u man.



Whats left for you to do and when are you gonna do some dyno pulls so we can see some real time graphs?

 

how much power are you gunning for the rear wheels on your current setup?

 

Indian,

Just remember, I had a GReddy T78 setup and I simply (well not really simply) put on the new turbo to the existing kit. The A-Spec kit won't have any of the issues mentioned in my writeup. And their kit uses the larger compressor wheel (more hp potential).



Alex, I am scheduled to hit the dyno next Tuesday morning. Assuming all works as planned, I will post my dyno runs later that day.

awesome man, good luck keep us posted, that whole write-up was very informative.
