GTK 850/650 hybrid. It's basically a GTK 850 with the P trim turbine wheel from a 650, and with a 3" turbine outlet. The compressor wheel is an HP72 wheel.


EDIT: Oh, and it makes the kit 60-1 look like a small fry.

How do you get such a special turbo like this? Does Turbonetics make it for you, or do you have to put all the pieces together yourself?

Anyway, it sure looks sweet... and the red lettering will even match your paint...

If you need a custom turbo you can special order one through a dealer. You generally just tell them what you want and they'll build it as long as it's physically possible.

Yep, I was telling jeremy I'd have to cut a big hole in my bumper so I could see the turbo better.
