Nice pics! I like what I am seeing so far with the GT-K turbos...

So when is the real news coming?
(piping size, intercooler upgrade, pricing, release date, upgrade paths for guys with stage 1 or custom Stage 1.5 kits...)

Will there be a group buy on these?

Group Buy I can't say. A dealer would have to set that up. I'm hoping to have Stage 2 info this week.

Water cooling is something reserved for dbb units to counter longevity issues. The ceramic ball bearing unit really has no need for water cooling. I think they're planning a water cooled midsection for those who really feel the need to blow extra cash on it. (It's more for marketing to those who buy into all of the hype)

I noticed that the porting on that turbo isn't swirled!!! That's not a production GT-K I guess. Does that porting feed the second set of compressor blades? Or are those holes actually dead ends.....

Who cares what they look like. The intake will be covered with a filter.

This was one of the first units ever made... I believe it was a test unit.... Yes the ports feed the majors on the compressor wheel. None of the units at SEMA had "fake" ports.

Did they use extended tips on the compressor wheel. I know they used it on the turbine side...
