Turbonetics GT-K, anybody using them?

[95' regal gs]

Is anyone here using a turbonetics GT-K series? From what I've heard and been able to gather they are good units. Just wondering if they work well on the turbo Buicks. I know that the ported compressor housings are supposed to help with part-throttle surge pretty well, does anyone have any feedback good, bad or indifferent? Thanks.

i have been wondering the same thing

I just purchased the t-72 bb q trim with the F1 wheel,not the GT-K. It spools faster than my t-70 standard bearing turbo and makes great power. I have not put it to the test yet but it feels great. I will post some new times when I get them.

Really?

Really, no one is running one of these? I swear I saw on here someone with a GT-K 650 listed in their sig. Mabey the lack of response is the answer to my question.

I'm the one that sold most if not all of them, to be honest, I don't think anyone has been to the track yet...

Jack, I think you you are correct, at least in my case:biggrin:
I will post my results as soon as my motor is done.

Any updates with these turbo's?

I should have some numbers in a few weeks, tuning the car on a dyno...hoping for 600+ rwhp.

With which turbo?

Time to update this bad boy. Okay, its been almost two months, anybody been to the track (or dyno) yet?

 

[boostingbuick]

No, Took the engine out a month ago for a rod bearing issue.

I am done installing the new combo with the GTK-850 S-trim, still breaking in the motor with a few 13-15lb blasts. Spool up is great using a PTC 9.5" 3400 n/l converter. I am scheduled to dyno the combo in 3-weeks and will report the results. My butt dyno is telling me this thing is making more power at 15# than it did before at 20# boost.

I believe the owner of this car is running the same turbo w/ good results. Da Pinks Car.... - COTTONSPERFORMANCE.COM

 

[JCotton]

Yep, thanks Allen, we made the 16 car field at Pinks All Out at Etown with a 9.91@133mph on 17lbs of boost with a GTK72BB. The car is running great and we expect to turn the wick up soon as the owner needs to get his NHRA license... :biggrin:

 

[95' regal gs]

Wow, 9's on 17 psi! I'm think'n this may be my turbo. (Someday when I have money.)

Wow nice. Jack got any pics of the car?

Thanks, dyno time is scheduled in approx. 2 weeks and then Test n tune August 22nd. A high 9sec pass would be sweet! My old combo with a stock bottom end, GN1s and a GTK66BB netted a 10.8 @ 20#boost, this one "feels" faster at 15# and I haven't even floored it yet!
