Pretty sweet new developments. Basically, pick any current 'good' turbo. Then imagine buying a replacement that has the same spool characteristics, but makes 15-25% more top end, and costs less than current rotated kits. Pretty sweet eh?

Highlights:
-New turbine/compressor wheel materials that allow forged or billet blanks to be 100% machined into lighter, stronger shapes for better aerodynamic behaviors
-Integrated wastegates for both single and twin scroll housings (no more stuffing external wastegates into narrow spaces plus reduced cost of plumbing)
-Integrated bypass valves
-Integrated boost control solenoids
-Stainless steel exhaust housings


Anybody interested in making some SERIOUS horsepower with one of these? Give the shop a call- we're looking for someone to work with us and help us develop a semi-rotated mount kit for these turbos.
