I was wondering why people don't use or talk about turbonetics any more?

Turbonetics should have their billet turbos out now though I don't know what sizes and what performance advantage they offer over the Precisions.

cause nobodies ventured over and tunned a high HP 7 with one yet. people tend to oooo and aaaahhh over big numbers and gotta have it mentality. so if someone like a-spec or turblown or some of the high HP drag guys on this site were to use some this summer would be riddled with people getting the new hotness and it would be the time to buy used garrets i think and borg warrners

I was beginning to think that they where going out of business or something. I remember in the late 90s early 00 turbonetics where in everything...Now all i hear is Garrett and BW.

My buddy just ordered his 64mm billet turbo yesterday from our local turbo shop. So we will see something shiny real soon.

I'm running the gtk1000 and effin love it! Would put it on my 3 rotor project but they only offer a .96 housing. So I'm going to do a gtx45r on the 3 rotor..... nasty!
