Hello, Turbo Concepts are a very great asset to the supra community and to the race community. There Turbo's and products are world class. I have experienced one of their turbo's for myself and it was amazing. Highly recommend them to anyone :love:

I have their TC59 turbo, and one of their I/C cores, and I love the turbo! I haven't installed my I/C yet, but the quality is very nice. Also, my DSM friend just bought a custom 57 trim from them, and he says that he loves it (I haven't had the chance to look at it yet). Customer service is great, and so are the turbo's (well, I know mine is).

I don't know about their BOV's and Wastegates because I already had mine from my previous setup.
Just thought I would let you guys know how my experiance with Turbo Concepts went.

Thanks for the comments gentleman. It is appreciated. With that aside, I also thought i would mention that we are releasing a bolt on turbo for the 7m. We have everything complete except a minor decking issue that we are resolving. Pricing will be less than the SP units as well as less than the BOSS units. And as always, free shipping.

Our Bolt-on turbos consist of everything internal that our high performance units contain. We offer a 3" or 4" inlet, with several different wheels. Including, the 50trim, 59trim, 61trim and 70trim. We offer them internally gated as of now, but we're working on an externally gated unit, including the downpipe. Pricing is as follows;

50 trim - $927.56
59 trim - $938.12
61 trim - $951.39
70 trim - $990.94

Any other questions? Feel free to ask!

Well, as stated in a past thread, it DOES honestly depend on the application. But as per flow, it goes like this:

50 trim = 500hp
59 trim = 600hp
61 trim = 650hp
70 trim = 700hp+

This varies alot based on the turbine wheel chosen, the turbine housing chosen. But at best, this is an honest group of figures. As far as the 7m bolt-on's, please call for pricing, as we are currently working on developing these.

Well, if your that concerned about the turbine housing looking pretty.....then by all means buy up every BOSS you can get your hands on! Theres got to be some reason ALL OE manufacturers in the whole world of turbocharging only use cast with nyresist.....hmmm...I guess every single turbo out there is garbage with a few exceptions, including the BOSS.

Arther3
01-13-2006, 10:31 AM
well, the cast iron is used because it it easy to cast and easy to machine. the boss is investment cast but investment casting is the most common form of casting used for high heat parts. cast iron does crack but if u dont want it to crack...use the money u save buying the cast iron housing and have it ceramic coated on the INSIDE. i think that will give quicker spool by retaining heat to the exhaust gas anyway.
also...the cast iron has a higher thermal conductivity...so i wonder what that stainless steel housing would do if u had a long top end run where lots of heat are produced...one of those where the turbo likes to glow a lil....well...what if that heat cant dissipate rapidly?

this is all IMO from what i have read.

Reign_Maker
01-13-2006, 12:34 PM
Arther, that's a very good post bro...

jt2ma71
01-13-2006, 02:00 PM
Arther is right. But for extreme heat applications, cast stainless is better than cast iron. Stainless will retain heat better than cast and that is good for the exhaust housing. Also one reason why there are turbo blankets made, to trap heat within the housing, although it is advertised as for reducing underhood temps. Tial makes ss exhaust housings. Another advantage of SS, without coating, it will probably last forever and very little corrosion will occur. Disadvantage, expensive. I want one for my GT42 :)

Our TC59 Is more than capable. I reccomend, for that power expectancy, the TC59 with a Stage III and a .63 A/R on the turbine housing. Thats a pretty potent setup. It should nail 500hp with ease, yet allow VERY rapid spool. As far as flanges, We have several different styles. For the 50 series turbos we offer a t3 open or dual scroll. And the outlet consists or either a 4 bolt outlet or a standard T3 internal wastegate flange. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask!

Those products should be complete in a month or so. So, sit tight! Thanks for your puchases and support guys! We are doing everything we can to support this wonderful community!

This is great news. One more bolt-on turbo to pick from.

Will this turbo bolt right up to the stock exhaust without any problems? Will the LIPP Hi-Flow Elbow bolt up? If not any plans to make your own elbow? And if you do, can you make it without that gay flange for the 02 sensor so we can use a standard 3-wire one from autozone or something that screws right in :)

Also what those guys were talking about with the ceramic coating on the inside of the housing, is that something you can do? And how much extra?

Looking to buy a nice bolt-on turbo in the next few months...... Thanks!

Hello

May I suggest that you include a MHG in that gasket kit, other vice I would say that it is useless as the stock headgasket will fail again sooner or later :(

Once you start the real world use of your turbo kits on 7m-gte's I think you will change your mind about the oem headgasket bolt torque being the only problem with the stock headgasket.
The turbo options you are going to have sound very cool though.

Few questions:

will the MDC oil lines (stock replacement SS braided) work or will I need to order new lines?

any pictures of that turbo compared to the ct26?

do you make an elbow/downpipe for that too? how much?

is the "supramania" 10% coupon already factored into this price or is the price 10% off of $951.39?

what is the turn around time?

do you take american express? ;)

bigaaron
03-22-2006, 03:32 AM
I have a question also. For $959 you are getting a bolt on turbo that will work with the stock (or aftermarket) turbo elbow, and stock exhaust manifold, right? Are the oil lines included? When you talk about the turbo being ported, what part of the turbo are you referring to, and why would a brand new turbo require porting? If the turbo didn't flow enough, why not go with a bigger model?

Turbo_Concepts
03-22-2006, 09:51 PM
I apologize for any missunderstanding. $951.39 is NOT the price for the bolt on unit. That is the price for the standard turbo with the t3 or t4 exhaust housing. The cost is more for the bolt on turbo. If your interested in pricing please call or email us. Unfortunatly we do not make a downpipe at the moment. Turn around time is about 2-3 weeks(incredible demand increase due to the spring rush) to your door. And yes we accept american express.

bigaaron, it bolts on the stock manifold, you do need aftermarket oil lines(aeroquip or earls), and as for porting and polishing... when a turbine housing is cast, it is rough, very rough. We hog out material to match the gasket exactly and polish the surface, increasing flow and overall performance. That statment is also including a polished compressor cover.

I just want an affordable bolt-on turbo capable of 350-400hp, no more. My turbo is leaking oil into the exhaust and I don't want some 500hp+ monster, and I don't want a CT-26 either, there has to be something in the middle??

When I'm ready to push 500+ I'll get a tubular manifold or something.

There is the pricing. I would reccomend a TC58 or TC59. Both can easily obtain the power your looking for and still maintain the great drivability of the ct26.

Yes, we do rebuilds. We are a fully functional turbocharger rebuilding and manufacturing company.



Please don't slander a product you know nothing of. Our bolt-on units will be priced around $990.00. Mind you, this comes with a turbine+housing of your choice, compressor+housing of your choice, 3" or 4" inlet, mirror polished compressor cover, and full porting and polishing. The similar turbo from suprasport is over $1500.00. Do the math.


If you want to do "the math " you need to give out the info so you may do so. Spell it out in black and white! Don't just beat around the bush!

I don't belive that there was any slander there.

How do you go from $990 in this thread and give the price of $1296.48 and $100 for internal gate in a different thread? If you want to compare the price of the BOSS to yours, you need to supply the cold hard facts it takes to compare one to another!

When you price out a BOSS TURBO you will know what you are buying! And not just a pretty looking turbine housing, as you may have said.

Is that a B cover on that turbo?

Turbo_Concepts

Simply put, our expenses have increased. $990 was an assumption based on certain figures we had at the time. The bottom line is, the latest prices we posted are correct. $1296.48 is the price for a TC70 bolt on plus an additional $100 for an internal gate, if desired. Might I ask, what "cold hard facts" do you require? We've stated just about everything about our turbos in the past posts.

Regarding the cover, no it is not a B cover. Its a .70 A/R custom cast, 4" inlet, 2" outlet.
