just wondered if anyone had tried one of the Garrett's yet??? I just listened to an old sound clip of one on a cummins & man do they sound wicked!!!!! I'd almost try one & forget about the twins if they'd been proven by a few people on here, any news on how they perform & how well they hold up??????? Dusty

 

Where's the sound clip?

That's not a BB Garrett....just a big old style Garrett. 68mm compressor!

Who put the piano string across the exhaust tip on that sound bite? Sounds good! I knew your "g" string would come in handy!

 

"G" String!!! That is hilarious!!! LOL

Everytime my buddy Shane breaks a string at a band gig, I always use the "he just broke his "G" sting" gag. He's a large fellow and it always get beer out someone's nose....

 

Truth be told that i have had my eye on one......



BUT i would like to hear more feed back on the GT3782R before it becomes one with my truck....and this is WAY in the future as well.....

 

I'm looking really hard at them...but a tranny takes precedence right now

What's the price range on them.

 

around 1600 IIRC. I'm looking at the Stage 2 as well. We need feedback!! The next bomb on my truck is gonna be a turbo. Just not sure on which flavor.

 

I just put a Stage 3 on my truck on Saturday, You can see what I have done to my truck in my sig. But I can tell you I love this turbo. Before I was running a Custom Scheid s400 made for street use but was able to be sled pulled with also. The Scheid turbo couldnt even clean up I had smoke all of the time, plus I was making like 70psi with that turboand still temps were up towards 1900 going down the track, and also with the Scheid charger it was a real pain to spool on the street. Now with this Garrett it starts to spool at 1400 rpm on the street, extremely fast compared to the scheid. Also the most boost I have had is 40psi and at that psi their is no smoke what so ever. This charger definately moves alot of air. I havent had a chance to pull with it yet but the highest egt I have seen is 1300 where as with the scheid charger I would have easily seen 1700-1800. So thats my thoughts on the Garrett Powermax Stage 3 Charger. If you have any more questions please PM me.

CBB centers scare me in a diesel application w/ all the soot in the oil... buddy's truck lost two high dollar garrett ceramic turbos shortly after break-in...
