He is running a GT45 single. Kevin

The boat guys still do this for some reason, and turbonetics still caters to them. I dont think you will get any GT series turbos with these seals, but efficientcy doesn't seem to be high on the priorities of this build anyway. There are still alot of good turbos out there in non-GT variety, and they are much cheaper. Last edited by TRENDZ; 02/19/14 08:46 AM.

You want to make big power but will never make it with your approach. You could do a single 88 and blow thru and accomplish your goals. You know how to make headers now and you ain't scared to spend the $$. I would think you would want the HP without the hassle.

Not to sound like an a** but why do something the hard way when you can get better results easier? A big single/blowthru would do the job, be lighter, easier to plumb, way easier to tune etc. Just trying to wrap my head around the why part.

Looks seem more important than function here anyway. If you like the look of a draw thru system, then you need to be prepared for all the down sides that go with it. The less than stellar all out performance goes hand in hand with very poor cold start, laggy spool up, poor cyl to cyl distribution, detonation, explosive boost tubes, etc... I've gone this route, and believe me, it aint worth the hassle if power is what you're after. For cruise nights or whatever it looks kinda cool, but than you have to come up with a long list of excuses to tell the guys that want to race you. "use it 'till it breaks, replace as needed"
