Post Made up my mind Im going with a Garrett GT!

just not sure which one yet.
If anyone has experience with a GT dual ball bearing turbo, SPEAK UP!
there turbine A/R's seem a little big.
I want the .67, but thats only with the gt30, but i want a gt 37 or 40, but those have .84 turbine A/R's

You might want to check out speed force racing.
Tim has some dual ball bearing turbos that are a bolt in replacement.

I had to call him about them, they arent on the website.
Anyone on rennlist have one of these?

Yeah for the turbo but what about the cross-over pipes. I don't believe that you can run the garret gt series without modifying it. Speedforce sell the headers w/ crossover for $1800 in 304ss.

If I remember correctly, Paul Bloomberg is running a GT25 on his 400RWHP monster.

Part of what helped me make up my mind is their catalog: Turbobygarrett.com

I would think Paul would be running a GT30 atleast. But apparently hes disappeared.
