NOT AFFILIATED WITH THESE PEOPLE THIS IS ONLY MY OWN OPINION

after reading on here a while back about these i emailed bret at(find em on ebay or pm me)about the talk of these things being cheap chinese turbos and that the setup was crap.He wrote back no they were not,62/12 was based off of a 300 and the htb3 was bought and a new self designed exhaust housing was installed.
Still a little skeptical i asked and he agreed to me buying the 62/12 as a single and if i liked it and it performed i would buy the second half later,well that little turbo was great,the spool was fast and it kept my egts cool i was very happy,i saw 45 psi boost with no problem.
So again i called and we talked,surprised me by saying the kit now included a polished aluminum turbo to intercooler pipe instead of the flex tube.
Ive had for a little over a month and i gotta say i love them,absolutley fast spool,of course egts are not an issue,i can see 60psi with my smarty on 3 revo passing fords and chevys all day long
The reason i bought these were 1 the price,2the way they are built i can still use my exhaust brake elbow,this kit uses the stock exhaust and the elbow if you want its a bolt in.

I can post a pick if anyone wants,i took a chance and sofar im glad i did

0ly, you Happier with the performance of these than the GT37 you had before (minus the surging)?

I'm interested in these as well. South Jordan is about fifteen minutes from my house, so it's basically in my back yard. If my ship ever comes in (doubtful in this crappy economy) I'd seriously consider buying them. Don't forget to periodically post about them so we know how they are longterm

Yeah lets see some pics.

studs are on the bench waiting to go in

this setup(for me)is way better than that garrett,still experimenting with programmers and such but i dont think it is far behind in spool time,and the boost seems to come on quicker harder.

as for the arson kit,i have never had rail issue,with the goals i have in mind i dont think i will and if i do i will get duals and be done with it.

How did that little 62/12 compare to the Super B you were running? I've looked at these twins before and have been really curious about that turbo.

0lywrench

i really liked my superb and was gonna upgrade to the twins but things happenend and i changed for a garrett single,not the right turbo for me so i tried the 62/12,i would say it spooled just as fast but built more boost,we have a grade thats in 10 miles long fairly steep,i pulled my toyhauler 11000
pds at 45 psi 70+ 1300 egts,iwas only pushing that hard because my buddy was behind me in his 2 month old ford 6.4 and said he could out pull me up vantage ha ha

White97GTVert

Yeah, Vantage hill is a pretty good test of how your truck will pull that is for sure. When I take my boat over there like one time per year, people always ask me if my truck is gonna make it up the hill with that boat behind it (it's only around 10k but looks heavy since its a 42'er, Outer Limits) and I always get funny looks rolling out of vantage boat launch and running up to 70 real quick.

Thank You for postng this info. I just asked about these the other day and everyone was saying to stay away from them. Of course, me being me, I didn't listen and should have them by Tuesday.

Once question for you. I thought his kit came with the exhaust manifold. Did you just choose to reuse your stock one?

This will be interesting to see how they perform. I will post my results as soon as I get them installed.
