Considering making a run of these. Can we get 40 pre-orders @ $175. Each? Add your name below with quantity needed. All Stages (ie. 1, 2, 3 and 5) would be available.

Good idea Chris! ;)
I could see me needing one or more in the next few years. If I get to keep any toys post-wedding! Lol
I'm in for one, maybe two.
what are the sizes of each stage option?
what wheels will these be machined for? standard old stage wheels or the new turbonetics F1 wheels? Who's doing the machining? Who's doing the casting?
Here is some candy to help you guys drool a bit. Brand new stage one .63 housing. IMO, $175 seems really inexpensive. I paid considerably more for this one like 15+ years ago.

The discounted price is only for Group Buy participants as shelf price for these housings will be closer to $250.
We are in touch with a vendor who is willing to make a small run of these the first part of next year. Our production window for manufacturing is very small though and it could be taken by another company if we don't act fast. Offering the housings at a steep discount is our way of motivating members to join in ASAP so we don't lose our time slot for another 6 months to a year. Our goal is to have these available on our site Spring 2015 or sooner.
Wayne and Jon411 please confirm quantity.

I ask because if they are machined like the .63 housing for a Garrett GT you did for me then I cannot recommend them to anybody I know looking for one. If the machining is actually going to follow the shape of the turbine wheel then good, but the GT housing was just 2 90 degree cuts to each other just to clear the wheel. Was hoping you were getting Turbonetics to re-cast these and machine them to their wheels and stardards. :shrug:
I'm in for one.
I guess just one.
Ah what the heck, put me in for one.
where's the stalking emoticon...
I bought one of these from Chris several years back before they were discontinued. ended up on my 2.5 attached to Chris' 3" SV. I will NEVER part with that housing, what a great mod. stock turbo feels like an S60 without the cost. you can definitely feel the turbo breathing better, why any one would keep stock I don't know - at this price you guys should lining up quick for one. here's your wake up and grab one bump.
:nod:
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!................................ .............................. After I have already gone through all of the pain and suffering of modifying my stock ported manifold flange and had an angled adapter machined to run the Ford .63 I just got from you because a Chrysler .63 is unavailable....................................... ................. I would consider buying one............. if you twist my arm with some more of that eye candy I guess. :faint:
For someone that is clueless....
Why buy this?
Why is it different?
What turbo does it fit?
How would someone know what stage to buy?
How is it installed?
more airflow to the turbine = more efficient compressor response. you are opening up the most important component of the exhaust, the pipe that breathes for the hot side of the turbo. it is the last thing you can do to the exhaust after a 3" kit with swingvalve.
make it easy and talk to Chris about staging, that decision is for the well informed only. in my case this (stage I) was added to a stock garrett turbo. personal experience - had a 3" SV and exhaust prior to installing this on an otherwise stock 2.5 setup, running 17-20 psi. you can tell when you've "run out of turbo", boost gauge is pegged but it just isn't pulling hard as you'd think, you feel like you know there's something left in it you aren't getting yet. I put this thing on with a proper tune, and look out - grab your junk and nail it, the top end is there and waiting. even from a dig, the car is no joke for a g-body, the whole range benefits. put this on a big valve head and big FMIC, with the right tune? pretty much untouchable on the street.
Count me in for 1. When do you need the money?
