New Precision Compressor Housings?

[Eticket]

I've seen some new PTE 76mm turbos on non-buicks that have interesting compressor housings.. They look like the garrett anti surge housings...

any idea why this is? why the new housings? do they flow better? etc.

You talking about the 42-76?

Cal,

Actually not I don't think. The ones I saw were on a silver TT 1st gen camaro from Arizona I think. They look like 76 GTS's but the compressor housings look maybe bigger (not sure if they were) and they have the antisurge looking inlet. The guy did confirm that they were 76's when I asked, but I didn't ask which ones.

The smallish looking turbine side (as compared to a gt42) does make it look like a gts.

Look at this compressor inlet:

You mean like what's on my 67? That's a ported shroud (anti-surge) cover. You can get them for Buick turbos too you just have to ask for it. It's usually no extra charge from PTE. It's kinda like having a built-in BOV in the turbo.
