Or were they 66s. I don't know. They have one step up from 61s for people who are crazy.

From Ben a page back
"We can do the compact 66/73, which is what we are putting together for the really crazy guys on here. That turbo is cast wheel only though. "

Off the shelf, no. Ben the master custom turbo builder, yep like he said 66/73 is available if someone was crazy enough to want to try that.

I told Joe to do whatever he wanted to the car. Including cutting, sectioning, bending, tweaking, rewiring, boxing, etc. It's his palette at this point. I'm hoping he will run down the street at some point and "borrow" the 66's to test them out too...

yeah...I don't mean anything negative by it. I understand the small turbos for stage 1 I guess. Heck I wish we could easily do a single 76mm(42R) under the hood honestly.

The "small" turbos aren't even small. They are pretty damn big and will do 900+rwhp.

You are not always going to make more HP at less boost with bigger turbos.

OK, let's clear some stuff up so we don't have to keep answering these about turbo sizes we offer.

We are a Borg Warner distributor and have been for over 11 years now. We have the ability to custom build quite a few different combinations of turbos and fit within our TT kit for the Camaro5. Whether or not we offer all of these different combinations is still yet to be determined. I know the general consensus wants a pair of 67mm billet ball bearing bad ass turbos that support 1500hp, only to run them at 8psi to make 600hp. Let's not over wheel our turbos here. Pick a power goal, then we'll guide you to the proper turbos.

Also, the below list is what CAN be made by us for the kit, whether or not we will offer all of these is yet to be determined.

Inducer CW / Exducer TW (all in mm)
56/61 (S200sx-56)
56/65 (S256)
61/65 (S261)
62/68 Forged Milled Wheel
63/68
66/73

To this date, we have yet to see the full potential of the 56/61, 56/65, or the 61/65, and there have been some pretty impressive numbers. 95% of you will never need anything bigger than the base 56/61 turbos.

I wouldn't push these turbos past 18 lbs even with only 376 cubic inches... With a bigger motor, 18 might be a stretch... But what a damn fine looking kit, and if Matt@FSP likes it, it must be good...

Stated support of 1500 hp is one thing, doing it in reality is another... I've got a trail of 67 mm ball bearing turbos behind me that couldn't hang... Might have been the cubic inches of exhaust thrown at them, but the trail is there regardless. The statement, let us guide you, is important guys... If you think you might ever want to push them, REALLY push them, be honest with AGP and let them guide you... You will trade off low end stuff, but, you'll have room to grow... And they will keep you out of surge problems...

I'm installing 76/75's right now to see if we can keep from blowing them up.. But like Ben mentioned, I'm one of the knuckleheads that never knows when to stop...

I'm pretty turbo fluent. I agree with all said above. Staying on the turbos island of efficiency is key to hp.
I had a GN for 7 years....FYI.
