turbo upgrade

Seems Pure Turbo is popular choice to get our turbos upgraded. What about other turbo companies? Anyone here considered sending their turbo to other places and have them do the upgrade?

We offer a GTX3076R upgrade in stock housing. This is a level above anything pure offers, ball bearing setup vs a journal bearing, larger impeller on both sides, and capable of up to 1200hp.

No difference in lag, if anything the boost comes on earlier with the assistance of the cross flow manifolds and the hot V. The compact housing also further assists.

Would have to put pressure transducers to get you an accurate reading on back pressures. But my engineering experience at the OEM level would say that it's not detrimental to the system. The housings are enlarged and setup with the adequate clearances. The system is not too far off from what Garrett offers in their "compact" configurations.

I have 3-4 sets of turbos in house that i keep on shelf ready to go. Eliminates downtime for you as the customer, you get a set of turbos ready to install and ship us your core units.

We offer different brands, Pure is the way to go not just because of power but reliability

The last thing you want is your turbos failing and having to go through the install process again

Bumping a year old thread...RK didn't include a link, BPC's is broken and neither lists these upgraded turbos on either website.

You can PM RK, or reach him on social media, he's generally very responsive.
