"Turbonetics is proud to release the brand new line of GT-K Turbochargers. The GT-K family has been designed for maximum performance utilizing the most advanced turbocharger engineering and components.

This next generation of turbo units features special Map Enhancement Porting to allow the compressor wheel to operate at its maximum efficiency across a very broad rpm range. This variant of bleed air design, has precisely placed slots machined into the compressor housing to limit effects of surge when using large turbochargers on small displacement engines as well as providing additional air flow to make maximum horsepower at high boost pressure levels and across the entire rpm range.

Aerodynamics is what separates the GT-K turbo line from the competition. Equipped with the latest HP Compressor Wheels, designed to maximize efficiency at high boost pressures, and the F1 Turbine wheel, created to capture maximum exhaust gas energy and reduce back pressures, the GT-K family of turbos delivers unequalled performance. Turbonetics HP Compressor Wheels are made of 354 heat treated aerospace aluminum and are manufactured utilizing Hot Isostatic Processing (HIP) to allow these wheels to be incredibly strong. When paired with the Map Enhancement Porting of the GT-K compressor housings, these wheels flow huge volumes of air at high pressure ratios while still delivering a cool efficient intake charge.

The F1 Turbines are a new generation of 10 bladed, tall tip height wheels that allow you to turn up the boost without encountering dreadful backpressure issues. Made from 713C Inconel and balanced to Turbonetics exacting standards, these wheels match up with the HP Compressor Wheels to make the best turbocharger combination available.

Turbonetics exclusive Black-Chrome Perma-Coating also comes standard for heat reflection away from the compressor housing to aid in lowering compressor wheel inlet temperatures and gives these units great looks to match their performance. Select turbo systems will also be able to be upgraded to the GT-K Turbos if so desired.

Turbine housings will feature high temperature ceramic coating to trap exhaust gas energy inside the turbine housing for greater energy delivery and faster response time, as well as keeping the engine compartment temperatures low. Cooler under hood temps means more power potential from a cooler compressor intake charge.

Does anyone have opinions on these new turbos? Depending on the "10 blade turbine wheels" i think they might be promising.

 

Hrm, I want one...

 

they are fu*king HOTTT .... the K stands for KILLER =P

they produced this turbo to out perform the GT series turbos out power out spool and out withstand

 

This is a really nice product. I wonder if any shop will do testing with there GT-K1000 ver.

 

interesting.

 

I would be up for testing!

 

I saw these on the srt boards a while back, they look very promising...

 

wow, very nice

 

Niceeeeeeeeee

 

The port job is pretty, and so is the coating on the compressor, but I can't believe people claim they want one when they have no effing idea if it will even be worth a crap.

HAVING THE PRETTIEST TURBO AIN'T GONNA WIN YOU THE RACE!

WTF does "out withstand" mean? Is that even English?

 

It's not about the prettiest turbo, and I know what wins a race. It has some potential provided the information is true, and I'd want one to play around with.
Don't jump to a conclusion. Go take a hot bath before you get irate over someones "effing" forum post.

 

Wow.. Looks nice... But show me the power it puts down.. F a nice lookn turbo gimme POWER!!!

 

Anyone have any prices on theses. I might want to test this out.

 

There are a few on ebay for $1639. (which is steep compared to the Garrett gt series, but might be just because they are brand new.)

GT-K 350 (which looks like a 54trim)

and

GT-K 450 (60trim)
