Default Turbonetics preparing to release the GTK line of turbos

Turbonetics will be debuting the incredible GT-K line up of high performance tubochargers at the SEMA show in Las Vegas this Oct. 31-Nov. 3. From everything I've seen and heard these turbos will be more efficient than any current Garrett GT comparable turbo and will flow more as well. I don't have the final compressor charts yet but as soon as I do I will post them.

Sounds cool.

Got any more info on how they achieve more flow / efficiency?

Is spool time improved improved?

Similar naming convention to the GT series.

It might make its way to the Stage 2 kit yes. There might be some "updates" to the Stage 1 kit coming soon as well though.

So will this GT-K be a CARB Certified kit?

Every single turbo manufacturer states their kit is legal for off-road use only. That includes Greddy, JWT currently, APS, Eternal Motorsports, Turbonetics, Power Enterprise, Speed Force Racing, EVERYONe. Regardless of this you have now taken this thread incredily off topic. If you wish to discuss this please start your own thread to do so.

Thank Miya

A thread with Who will be the first Carb Certified And Legal Turbo kit for California is a great Idea !

You can start it or I will later.....

F*CK..... Just when I thought I was finished Turbonetics throws a "new and improved" at me. This will never end.
