So....how wants to make some serious single turbo power
. I'm gonna PM you, I have a few questions.
ya, the turbonetics piping was maxxed at under 500 hp. No way you could put 6-700 hp thru that and make any power.
to make 6-800 hp efficiently, you need a true t4 flange, 3" hot/cold side.
I'd hate to see turbonetics owners buy these big turbos thinking they can just drop them onto their stock piping and intercooler.

Something I noticed in my build too. I originally had a 2" crossover pipe, going from bank one to bank two, which was 2.5". I think all single turbo kits out there have a 2" crossover pipe, and now one manufacturer has an O2 sensor in the 2" crossover pipe. The Power lab ST kit does have an advateage over other kits though, they have the W/G dump comming off of the 2" line (bank one crossover).
Well, I had my O2 sensors in about the same location and distance from the header flange. I noticed that bank one (2" tubing) was running richer than bank one (2.5" tubing). I know my injectors were flow tested and were all within 1% of each other. I have a fuel return system as well, so that was ok too. When I increased the boos from 5.5psi to 7.5psi this bank one richer than bank two amplified a bit.
So, when I did my clutch swap I decided to make both sides 2.5", merging in to a 2.5" feeding the turbo. Again O2 sensors were in the same location but my A/F were now identical. The 2" tubing was a restriction with hp being in the mid 350's. I'd hat to see the difference if I tried to push 500whp.

Just because he strung out that turbo, does not mean that the piping etc will support more HP. Doesnt the tnetics kit has a giant 2.5" downpipe. 2" crossover pipe? Thats definitely the right size for big power 
BUT, its great news for all those built block turbonetics guys. I'm sure thats a huge market.

I agree with Doug, I had to look at the date to make sure this wasn't old. I would love to be proved wrong, but having done a little work with Turbonetics setups I found there is much more required for "serious power" than just a turbo upgrade. Turbo, feed pipes, down pipe, intercooler etc.... basically a whole new kit.
I'm obviously a single turbo guy so that's where my head went but any twin kit using a T3 turbine would benefit from these as well. Speed Force Racing comes to mind...
there would be absolutely no reason to use an inferior Turbonetics turbo over the billet PTE's that SFR uses.
Well i guess if you wanted less HP and more heat.
Also shoving big turbines in little housings has been the core issue with the GTM type kits and producing big power. Its not as simple as just putting in bigger wheels as the turbonetics ads make it appear.

Huge wheels in small housings, while trendy, = fail
