Wow! Those turbo's spool fast. Are these available for non HR's?

Here's the dynograph from AAM's last meet -- almost identical to the original. The boost controller and ECU were in learning mode so the torque is a bit lower but the curves are still sweeeeet. Boost at 7psi. No issues with this setup yet.

They are modified Garrett GT25Rs with a little trickery on both comp and turbine sides . They spool instantly, hold boost, and will easily make over 500whp/tq. We just finished up another HR with the same turbos and made about 475whp@9psi (we'll post it up soon). They really allow the stock power range of the VQ to remain intact as well as allowing for over a 300+hp increase in output over stock. They're a great match for 550+hp VQs. I'd love to see what they'd make on a built motor with 18+psi. Any takers?
Looks like a good kit with an efficient design for moderate power levels, but I am dubious that GT25s would be the appropriate choice for a 550 whp goal on a built motor on pump gas at least. Perhaps a stock HR, if you wanted to risk it...

UPDATE: Car is still running great. Got some nice video of the G in action coming soon including extra pics -- redline banging, flat foot shifting fun. Just need to get software to blur some stuff out before I post them, last thing we need is legal issue hehe.

They are great turbos - perfect for achieving 550+ at the motor. I also think 550 at the wheels on a DE would be pushing it, but 500whp definitely. However Garrett's are highly underrated from Garrett. We've made 500+ at the wheels with an stock HR. Like I said before, I'd like to see what these would do with more boost. Also, they are not "shelf" gt25s.

Update: car is still running 100% without any issues whatsoever after 8k miles. Having waited what I feel is long enough for a proper review, I just posted one in the main FI review thread.

Cheers
