This is a little funny. I had just talked about how tight and reliable my new ct-26 was at 20 psi a week ago in another thread. After winning first place in the weekend bracket race at Quaker city raceway here in ohio, my turbo decided to whine about it. 2 years and almost 300 passes down the 1/4 mile and she finally gave in. Beat a couple mustangs, a srt-10 pick up, and a few muscle cars that day. Looks like its time for the pt61 to go on. Going to miss the little guy.
Spoke too soon! Death Whine..

Yes, stock size. It was a fresh rebuild with new wheels and shaft. Same turbo that pushed my car to a 12.61 without nitrous, and 11.95 with a 70 shot of nitrous. I am not going to rebuild it. I have a tial wasgate, a log manifold and a PT61 turbo that will go on in its place.
What is even more funny is, the turbo was gone already when I lined up in the semi-finals against a 12 sec 68' GTX. I changed my dial in from a 13.20 to a 16.50. I ran a 19.30 and still beat the GTX because he broke out with a 12.88 on a 12.90 dial in.

^^^Agreed, proven that the ct can make power:naughty:
I know, but the stock turbo was never meant to run 12s or even 11s and to see those times is just inspiration.
Bye bye little CT-26, you went down in the hall of fame. Like someone mentioned, you should mount it on a plaque with a laminated copy of the 11.95 pass with it .

What are the new plans on this PT? Daily driver as much as a daily driver in Ohio can be?
never got the 12.5 all boost did you? that really sucks. can't wait to see what it does with a bigger turbo
