I'm looking around for the best gt40 pricing/shipping....

I was exploring yahoo.com and came across amazon.com (had no clue what it is) but after I played with it a bit it showed basically all the gt40 turbos..
gt40-82
gt40-88 spl ??? <--- what is the difference from the basic
gt40-88
gt40-67
gt40-67r <---------- YEAH BALL BEARING!!!
And so on with prices...
All the turbos come off of HPF.com

http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref...otive&field-keywords=gt40&Go.x=0&Go.y=0&Go=Go

The question I have is whats the difference form the gt40-88 spl then the gt40-88??? They both have the 88mm inductor... My only guess could be the A/R raitos are different... Anyone knows the diffrence?? The price is good and all so I think I figured out the turbo I want..

Dont know what spl is, but there is a gt40-88 and gt40-88R (R denotes ball bearing).

They will all come with large exhaust housings, I would ask to have a custom one put on. (mine is .81a/r)

ken-

the exducer is 88mm, not inducer.
not sure what the spl version is, dont see a listing for it from pte or garrett website.
also, the 4082 and 4067 are completely diff.

i sell for pte so if i can be of any help let me know. im sure i can beat almost anyone's price.

Would a gt4088 with a .81 a/r be good for 500rwhp and still pull me into the 11's. One day.... Would it spool pretty quick? Yeah I wasnt to sure about the gt40-88spl version, I never heard of it plus Garrett doesn't show it on there site.. But HPF.com still states that it well do 750hp.!

Yet the so-called gt4088 spl specs are.
GT40-88 SPL GT Series Turbos Only - GT40, 750hp, Comp Trim/Hsg: 88 mm, 54 Trim (0.72 A/R), Turbine Trim/Hsg: 73 Trim (0.81 A/R)

Most other gt40's have over a 1.0 a/r (hot) so is this custom? Would I be better off with the other verison gt4088..??

Hey EvoLuTioN, I think amazon.com is a search engine for things to buy... they do anything I guess from turbos, tvs, to clothes..

Hey dbsupra90, could you get a Garrett?? gt4088.. I'm not sure if Precision is linked with them by chance... If so what do they usually run with a .81 or .94 (no sure if the .94 well be good)..
Thanks Ken, you could PM me if your like.

BTW: I believe the SPL is the DBB version, like the R... *mine says GT4067R-SPL* 81AR is the standard housing for the BB versions... Also, the GT4067R is the hybrid custom GT40 in the series and flows the most air, with a 67mm inducer...

But to answer another one of your questions: the gt4088 will be plenty for 500hp... Even the GT35R...

The 88 is overkill for 500hp, un-needed lag.

the 35R or the standard 40-82 would be more suited to a 500hp goal and will spool quicker.

is the gt40-88spl is considered as a DBB why is it cheaper then the basic gt40-88???

I'm just trying to get near 450-480rwhp (pump) and higher alot higher with 110 lol.
I dont know if this has ever been done, but this turbo should be pretty good to make that forum of power. Yet I'm always wondering if it well spool good.. I want something with hit 20psi 4k. lower the better but could also hold the boost once I get head work.

no the spl isnt a dbb. they still note those w/ a R or Z.
blackout- well it depends. if your goal is pump gas mid boost or race gas high boost it is totally different. example, the 4082 is a much smaller turbo and running the guts out of it you could make 500rw. the 4088 on the other hand you can make 500rw on pump gas level boost.
yes the pte turbos are garrett turbo chra. i would recommend the smallest t4 housing available for it, which is the .81
as far as pricing, i can probably beat those shown on the site. pm me for discussion.
