"Turbonetics is proud to release the brand new line of GT-K Turbochargers. The GT-K family has been designed for maximum performance utilizing the most advanced turbocharger engineering and components.

This next generation of turbo units features special Map Enhancement Porting to allow the compressor wheel to operate at its maximum efficiency across a very broad rpm range. This variant of bleed air design, has precisely placed slots machined into the compressor housing to limit effects of surge when using large turbochargers on small displacement engines as well as providing additional air flow to make maximum horsepower at high boost pressure levels and across the entire rpm range.

Aerodynamics is what separates the GT-K turbo line from the competition. Equipped with the latest HP Compressor Wheels, designed to maximize efficiency at high boost pressures, and the F1 Turbine wheel, created to capture maximum exhaust gas energy and reduce back pressures, the GT-K family of turbos delivers unequalled performance. Turbonetics HP Compressor Wheels are made of 354 heat treated aerospace aluminum and are manufactured utilizing Hot Isostatic Processing (HIP) to allow these wheels to be incredibly strong. When paired with the Map Enhancement Porting of the GT-K compressor housings, these wheels flow huge volumes of air at high pressure ratios while still delivering a cool efficient intake charge.

The F1 Turbines are a new generation of 10 bladed, tall tip height wheels that allow you to turn up the boost without encountering dreadful backpressure issues. Made from 713C Inconel and balanced to Turbonetics exacting standards, these wheels match up with the HP Compressor Wheels to make the best turbocharger combination available.

Turbonetics exclusive Black-Chrome Perma-Coating also comes standard for heat reflection away from the compressor housing to aid in lowering compressor wheel inlet temperatures and gives these units great looks to match their performance. Select turbo systems will also be able to be upgraded to the GT-K Turbos if so desired.

Turbine housings will feature high temperature ceramic coating to trap exhaust gas energy inside the turbine housing for greater energy delivery and faster response time, as well as keeping the engine compartment temperatures low. Cooler under hood temps means more power potential from a cooler compressor intake charge.

Does anyone have opinions on these new turbos?

I see a anit-surge housing, coated turbine housing, and supposely a new 10 wheel turbine wheel.

Any vendors what to chime in??

same as any jet hot coating?

Looks cool... no info about the bearing?

already a thread

Yeah there has already been a thread made before which got out of hand as always these days. Don't know about these turbos until someone tests them, plenty of companies state they are GT Killers or Garrett killers but proof is in the pudding

I would like to see how these work though

93supercoupe

yeah, not alot of info on these things.

Lets hear some hands on expeirence.

Why don't you buy a used one so it can blow up on the dyno again. Who did you buy that last one from again?

Function over fashion, some say that style works better, it is like the HKS T04Z style, I know Precision is using Ported Shroud housings similar to that as well. I think Full Race did some testing on both styles and determined this style was better for some reason, or it was Geoff's opinion dunno

Importrev

Cool pic. I called about this unit already. The guys that built my units (forcedinductions.com) have already tested these units on several different engines. Give them a call. I was suprised by the results....my only hang up was the price. The GT-K's aren't cheap...

OMG!!!! Dont even get me started about this crap again. GT-K!??? LMAO!!!!

KeyserSoze

Just looks like a ported housing (holset) and extended tip tech (borg warner) all wrapped up in a nice coated black housing (the black is sexy tho...). The method of porting may yeild better results than the typical holset/garrett porting styles, but would the gains justify the cost? I guess prices and empirical comparisons are the only way we will know. Maybe Geoff will chime in wrt the gains observed and someone with pricing knowledge will give us an idea of the cost of one of these bad boys.

Methinks an assumption can be made wrt how Courtney feels about them.......

SPOOLINmatt

ive seen the sizes up to the "550" going for 1600 ish, 650-the next sizes have been about 1900ish and the higher ones are like 2300ish 2400ish.

TurboJesse

it will be interesting to see how they perform...personally the black compressor with painted red letters reminds me of a clay project i built in elementary school art class, looks kinda cheap IMO.

tony1

You been building clay turbos since elementary school? No wonder you're such a badass!

what type of bearing systems do they have??

are they ballbearing?
