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.

Howard from NY made 562whp with 22psi (21.5 I think) at 4500rpm with a gt4088

Ken: Not to be a cocknose or anything but if 2K for the turbo is disturbing the supporting components needed will give you heart palpitations.....

You can't just bolt this on and expect it to work ;)

Kell, what other supporting mods are you doing? What kind of fuel, forged internals, head work, ffi, exhaust.............???

It's like IJ said, this isnt cheap... But if you wanna play, you gotta pay, and pay alot... Take a look through some of these build threads, there's some serious fundage being thrown around in there... IJ, Nate, Steve, Ron, and even me..... Just between the 5 of us there is well over $60,000 worth of "mods" right there... And trust me, Im being very VERY minimal with that number... Hell, IJ and Ron probably have over $60k between the two of them...

All Im saying is, if you want to do a 480hp pump project with "lots" more on 110, than you have GOT to be willing to completely deconstruct your motor and put an insane amount of "money is no object" modifications into it... Or else, it wont last, let me repeat that, because it's just so important: IT WONT LAST!

Good luck with your build...

BTW: talk to Sean over at Titan Motorsports... That's where I got my turbo and MANY other parts...

I'm not 100% sure what my mod list well be, I totally agree with the saying "you gotta pay for play".. The turbo for 2k dollars to me its not overly that bad for what you get, but like most people it well be more realistic to get a non-ballbearing (depending on their application) and use the rest buying fuel, exhaust, etc..

I know for a "FACT" I'll be spending alot of money. Like people say chose 2 of these... If you already didnt guess it I'm looking at fast / realible.. So its not going to be cheap..

-cheap-
-fast-
-realible-

Im glad im not included in those figures....you dont even wanna knwo how much i spent...lol

i think the 4067 is a pretty damn decent all around turbo, but obviously it will really shine with some 116 and 25+ psi.....

-> my fav GT3582R $1395 http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/m...tp&Product_Code=GRT-TBO-006&Category_Code=BCS


So we see atleast for the GT35R series HPF is higher priced, so go there for the name, but not for a bargain.

And when he says well over 60k, he is talking more like 100k+ I'm over 20k myself. Damnit I coulda bought an mk4... My original plan was 12k, adds up quick :cry: If you want to make 480whp on pump more than once the intial cost will be greater, but cheaper in the end.
