New HTA 35R testing finally done and in....
jbrown,
The info you posted is not entirely correct. The Green wheel is not a 20g wheel. the 20g wheel is a wheel built by Mitsubishi that had 6 blades. The HTA wheel for the Green turbo is a completely custom designed wheel by FP and has only 5 blades.
The HTA 35r wheel is also NOT the same size as a 35r wheel, actually it is slightly smaller than a standard 35r wheel. The design of the wheel allows it to make the same power as a standard 35r wheel but outspool it and make more power in the midrange.

Took my RS out again Friday night, hot as hell. Still ran 9.78 at 146.9 mph, that of course was on radials and I drove it there and home.
The turbo is on the dyno now getting the MAF data Robert has been waiting for.
I asked about the HTA naming. The letters all designate something different about how the wheel was designed and such. Each letter stands for a series of changes the wheel went through to get it where it is. So it is basically Robert's secret notes.
We can call it Hot Tight A, I like that one the best.

Dammit Dave, I really want this HTA 35R turbo....
We all do, Im starting to think something is wrong with it though, Its taking to long after the testing was done successfully for it to come out 
I could be wrong, but this is taking way to long and starting to have my doubts. Garrett makes an awsome product and this would be almost to good to be true.

by the way ... to, two, and too. They're 3 different words, check it out some time.
Some people are just lame
Another thing, Buschur said the testing was done, not that it had to be performed on other vehicles... Learn to read more and criticize less

The turbo is done, the turbo is on my car and is performing flawlessly at 40+ psi of boost. The car now has, I don't even know how many, 9 second passes on it. I'm driving the car everyday all over the place.
Robert is in the process of making more compressor wheels.
We are still testing though, he does not want the wheel to fail and that is why I am running such high boost on it constantly.
There is nothing wrong with the turbo or design as far as I can see.

Man, David take your time. I'd rather it be perfect than for there to be any issues at some point down the line. If this comes out before I step up to purchase the Green, I may definitely consider it.
