haven't used it, but supposedly compares to T-netics deltagate. uses same flanges but the bores are bigger to flow more air.

maybe if you posted a pic on here someone could identify it for ya

if you did a search you would probably answer most of your questions.

probably nothing, but you would need to have them both in your hands to be sure. T-netics designed their wheels after garret wheels initially.

I'm surprised you didn't get more feedback on this topic. I know T-netics used to get alot of housings honed for customers, turbine and comp. I even saw one customers turbo apart where he had the wheels honed also. If memory serves me correctly, the customers with the housings honed gained a...

What kind of deal is your dad getting at T-netics? I, personally, wouldn't have them build a turbo for me. Limit Engineering or Innovative Turbo would be a better choice.

I helped with the motor and turbo system on an old corvette called the Sundowner. It was a land speed car with a 302 small block chevy motor, twin turbos making over 1200 hp pushing the car to 245 mph.

If you don't get it handled, email me with the details and I can probably get it moved to San Francisco for you since I work for a car hauling company. bad_turbo@yahoo.com

I have an 01 and 02 3500 with the Duramax and you really can't beat it for towing. That motor makes 300 hp and over 500 lbs of torque at the flywheel stock. There are people racing them at the track, putting down numbers in the low 14's, high 13's in the quarter. Amazing motor!

T-netics and Innovative have their own BB wheels made.

usually the smaller turbos make more noise. It is the turbo making the noise, not the air box. If you hold a turbine wheel, by the shaft, in your hand, and hit the blades with air from an air hose causing the wheel to spin, it will make the whistle noise in your hand. The faster you spin it, the...

if I understand you correctly, you would need to loosen the comp housing bolts and the turbine housing bolts to be able to spin the center section of any turbo.

Turbo Tommy, your just a hop, skip and a jump away from Turbonetics. Why don't you just swing by and talk to them about it or give them a call: 805.581.0333

I think you owuld be hard pressed to get a 70 mm wheek in a 3 inch inlet housing. Not to mention it wouldn't be able to suck in enough air to make it happy.
