you ain' lyin brother! whew! I'll get my list for the pricing tomorrow. along with a GT3076R and .82 turbing housing.
The date on the wastegate actuator on the smaller turbo is YTBD so I figured winter is hurtling at me. I'll put an external gated one on first.

Vent the gate externally, everyone will know you're coming a mile away

I agreed

There were some small revisions made and final clearances will be checked soon. Then they will be available for people that want big upgrades on the 2.4 or 2.0L.

Sweet. at first glance it looks a little tall.
The only thing I wish they had would be split tangetial housings. But I like how compact and smooth they are.
It'd be sweet to do back to back dyno testing on the two housings. Besides the weight/space savings it seems like the better control of the investment casting process might lend an increase to ponies.

That angle makes it look a little taller than it really is. It's a tiny bit taller than the top of the engine, but I'm confident it will clear the hood.

The stainless housing is a lot lighter.

Nice! I really really like that housing. Is that a gt2876R?
Im going to CNC that adapters to make the Gt3076R and Gt35R fit the stock log/downpipe.
Then Tig up a nice tube header of my own (16ga 321 is my preferential poison), depending on what I hear about pricing tomorrow it will likey be made for the TiAL housing.
It will be a sweet way to have comparitive numbers on the same turbo/car.

yea. in my younger years I dug it but these days I like quiet. I already have one car that shakes the ground you stand on. This year I make strides to go quiet...and AWD.

It's a GT2860.

The v-band makes it extremely easy to swap turbos though.

For sure! That littel sucker is gonna spool lightening fast with the 4-1 header.
Might I suggest swaintech for the exhaust side. Ive used them for better then 10 years now with exemplary service.
The coating isnt pretty like some, it's geared more twards effectiveness. There will be a noticible drop in radiant heat. Some might even say significant. depends on who you ask I guess. I know Ive had 2nd degree header burns casue the pipe I thought was cool was NOT! oW MOMA!
I like it cause it's the real deal, 0.015" thick and applied as a plasma (like 3K F!) thats why it cant be done inside of the pipe, has to be applied @ a 90 deg angle. Only a grinder will remove it.

That's the idea. A nice, broad, flat powerband.

Thanks for the tip. I will look into it.
