garrett gt38

[inneedof]

Is there anyone out there that is using a gt38 aka power stroke turbo on anything besides a truck?

I haven't ran one personally, nor do I know anyone that has. The Cummins turboes are loads of fun though, plus you get the diesel sounds.

Are you talking about someone with a cummins in a car or on a truck?

It looks like FP has them. 1.00 A/R T4 housing, but everything is V-bands, even the turbine inlet. If you run this turbo you're gonna need an exhaust manifold with a V-band discharge. Shearer could probably make you one. It's also got an 88m compressor wheel. This looks like it could be a damn good turbo, but it definitely doesn't look street friendly, unless your idea of a street turbo is boost at 5k plus, and 600+ whp.

FP rates the max boost at 40psi. They also say that the stock turbo has an 80mm compressor. Does anyone have a stock turbo that they can look at and get the other specs from? Turbine inlet/outlet, all that good stuff...

I have one that i am putting on my 4g63 mirage, i am sticking to the stock turbo with upgraded compressor wheel until i hat a 9 second pass, then i am thinking about going to 1 of the 2 upgraded 38's that forced performance sells
