Another "Bolt-on" exh. housing for Garretts?

[silverbulletAWD]

I just saw this on ebay. Did a search and haven't seen anyone talking about it.

Anyone seen these yet?

I just noticed this one in particular is being sold out of Muskegeon. That's about a 1/2 hr. from me. hmm...

Looks like the A/R might be a little smaller than a PTE but I like the 38mm wastegate and adjustable arm. Although, a bolt on arm could be trouble too.

looks alot like agp's rs exhaust hosuing

I thought AGP was using the PTE housing for their RS turbos. Maybe not... but I have a PTE hybrid here and I'm sure this is not the same.

no they use one just like that but a couple times they were waiting so lon for the usual exhaust hosuings that scooped up some from pte and used those to fill some backorders

Punctuation? I think not.

The bullseye housing is not new. Its been available for about 2 years now. AGP has used it extreme turbo uses that housing also.

Yeah, the old Bullshit housing. Seems a bit better than the PTEs. It's made out of stainless, and it is an on center housing, like a Garrett. But, will a person see much gain? Not likely.

Anyone know how the A/R's compare?

Your statements are not quite true.. These are available in a Stainless steel the one on Ebay is a High Grade steel. Also this is a tangenal turbo not an on center.

I have one of these housings in my car. IT is mated to and HX35 Holset turbo. I get full boost before 3800 rpms. That is with a turbine wheel that is compareable to a stage V garrett.

There are also several turbo shops that use these housings and I have heard that a shop made 602whp with a GT30R turbo and this housing, so it can flow.

One more thing. When I says that it the inlet is the same size as a 7cm mitsu that is not correct. IT is in reality a little bit bigger. Not really a big deal.

I have one of these housing on my car too... it is supposed to be around a .5x ar...

The only complaint I have is it is somewhat heavy probably 2 or 3 pounds more than a normal housing.

It moves the turbo out and leaves room for bigger compressors.

I wrote to the guy a few months ago asking some questions, including one about the A/R. He said it was "secret" but somewhere between .48 and .63. So, .5x is probably about right.
