What's your opinion of the gt3776/ gt3782? They come in T3 twinscroll as far as I can tell.

Didn't look at them a an alternative .
Had a quick look just now . The turbine side is certainly large enough but the compressor side is too small on both of them . IMO
The GT3788 looks like a better match to me but is too big (physically)for what I'm doing .

There are new GTW options that look interesting for a rotary just by compressor vs turbine sizing, but the maps are not out yet and I think they are longer overall due to a new, larger chra

And the housings are all different now too I think ...

If they brought the GTW out with a lightweight turbine ...... that would be competition for the EFR series

But it appears to bring the Garrett closer to the non-EFR BW turbos wrt the rotary application

Even if you paste the pic link or grab it off your device, but don't save it the site now stores it whether you like it or not

Kind of f'd up ...

The good news is I did some tuning for a well known rotary shop yesterday (PPRE) and in exchange I get a day on the dyno with the main man there helping me . So I should be able to get this thing dialed in pretty well .

Thanks for that Team . I already have some resistors I was going to use to decrease voltage by 10% which should be good to 500g/s . Was going to try it beforehand but never got around to it .
