There is a lot more than 1, I think about 10 in the box.. Probably all be gone soon. Friends in the right places I guess?

Yeah cause that doesn't happen all over the place, hell Jason stole all kinds of stuff off my site back in the day, people get their hands on my housings and copy them, my turbo's and copy them, it's the worst part about this business. Forget pics everyone uses them, watermark it or forget it.

**** dude, you're lucky not to have to deal with winter. Everything is going on stand-by for me and the PTE 6768 will have to wait till spring.

So will it be possible to order billet compressor and turbine wheels to put in older turbos (like a t-60 ^^)? Would you see similarly good gains from doing that?

You cant buy the components like that from Garrett. There are a couple exceptions, but it wont be the billet stuff. Just buy a new complete turbo when the smaller ones come out.

GTX4294R on the left, GTX4202 on the right... I think this is going to be the biggest street turbo anyone would ever run on a 13B...

I wouldn't really call the 42R a street turbo for the 13b unless you get a bar before 4,000 RPM :P. But I guess that would be up to opinion rofl.

But hey, maybe the billet is that much better? Do let us know

I have a customer with a standard 4202R T4 1.15 who gets 23psi by 4200rpms... Obviously a well tweaked setup...

I will report back on the new turbos...

By tweaked setup do you mean retard the timing and dump fuel to spool the turbo?

doweled 13b-re brand new irons, clearanced low comp rotors, 2mm seals, small 1/2 bridge. I'd say I hit full boost ~4300 - 4500, it starts making boost at 2100 I get 5 - 7 psi by 3000. I can't give more accurate numbers as its been in the garage for the past month and will be til spring time

Edit: Until I get some better wider tires on the back I have to say this setup is pretty much insane on the street, there is no traction on the 245's. Perhaps with some R compound tires it would be ok for lapping but when this thing spools it's a handful.

Large bore downpipe, ceramic coatings, wastegate dump (or well-designed re-route), dual solenoid boost controller, high quality wastegate, well designed exhaust manifold, proper turbine wheel and A/R sizing, etc etc
