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

 

No clue, i run there 48mm wastegate and love it.

 

nm i thought you meant turbosmart...

 

Cause everyone wants to talk about what is new and shiny....like billet wheels and stuff. Id like to think Turbonetics is still the shiznit!

 

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

well their 122mm billet one looks like it would eat a baby, and your pockets...6500 bucks!!!

 

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!

 

I just heard the other day that Garrett is looking to switch over to ceramic ball bearings, something turbonetics has been doing for a long time.....
