The 3076 (in the 3071 form factor) didn't exist when I first started offering the Upgrade Kit. I had to have them custom made.
That said, the turbo that has been (and is being) shipped with the Upgrade Kit is not the 3071 as it appears in the Garrett catalog.

 

lol, should have known

 

Given the GTX3076 is in the house, what would you select for

1) MAF Tube Diameter as Draw Though
2) Injector Sizing
3) Manifold Design
4) Downpipe Diameter
5) Complete Exhaust Downstream of Downpipe

 

3.375" i.d.
290/900/900
Tubular 304 Stainless, T3 discharge, external WG, low-mount
3"
3" CAT-less, BHR resonated midpipe, 3" to tailpipe

 

^^^ yes please.
Forwarding said shematics to Santa.

 

Maybe next year for me?

 

Fixed.

Sorta. I left "shematics" alone. lol

 

damn it.
self ownage.

besides, Ray wouldn't know what to do with "shematics". We both know he's clueless when it comes to the opposite sex.

now back to bitchin' new turbos...

 

Please keep your ******* antics private

 

Oh Baby - now your talking turbo kit sex. Hey Paul, would you, Rick and the Doc, be upset if I boosted my Iannetti seals with this? Jeff would tune it for sure. Or, should I just build another engine?

 

Nemesis: boost that baby!
The seals can take it.

 

Yea, Team thought so also. Even though I took MM's webinar for ATR/AP tuning, this setup would need his personal expertise. I need boost in 2011. I cannot let the World end in 2012 without Nemesis8 driving a boosted 8.

 

Boost that one then build another while you wait for the first one to blow

 

lol... that will get expensive.

 

On good race gas

For high boost they would prefer you use the 3mm 13B seals and that data is all pre-Renesis and racing oriented, with shorter Renesis seals on who knows what pump gas quality you will need to be cautious ....



.

 

LOL you should have the opportunity to drive a pair of boosted 8s in 2 weeks. You just will not be the owner

 

$50 says that on judgement day you will be still sitting out front waiting for the UPS guy to show up ....

 

anyone got an opinion on what turbine A/R works well as a trade off in boost threshold/high rpm flow?

 

I wonder about this . My current turbo spools as quick as the 3071 if not quicker (if the dynos are anything to go by ) and I still feel that I would like it to spool quicker still. Top end is fine (for me ) but the quicker spooling it is down low the more pleasant is is to drive on the street IMO .
For this reason I would go for the gtx 3071 over the 76 ......

 

Your choice will operate in a less efficient range, you still don't know your mass from a hole in the ground

 

It will be way more efficient than my current turbo and may even spool earlier - maybe .
It comes down to what you want . Track weapon or powerfull street car that has gobs of torque from low rpm .

 

I would not mind gobs of torque down low.

 

Yeah, my setup doesn't have gobs of torque down low.

 

he only knows what he has, not what he is missing

 

Really, that is the crux of the problem with all of the Internet back-n-forth over which system/blower/turbo/bottle/yo-yo is better.

Seat time.

Nearly ALL of the people I find myself explaining this stuff to have never driven in anything other than their own car.
