Thanks all...

I'm taking this opportunity to make a few upgrades.
Since the Turbo is shot, I am looking for an upgrade in that area... something dual ball bearing.

I also started my swingarm project... it's lookin good!
Here's a sneak preview...

Stretch that out any further and you're gonna need a class B License! You gonna be able to hook up that far out?

I'm so used to seeing polished and/or Chrome swingarms it's refreshing to see a Painted one. Really contrasts the Red! I like

On the street it will diffinately spin more than hook.

Currently having a lot of fun at the track.

With the tire warmed up and appropriately inflated... it will hook

Thanks...I like the black also.

sorry to hear about your bike. What kind of material is the turbo housing? Can it be welded?

Dude sorry to hear about your bike.

Off subject, where you out at Clearwater Beach last Wednesday. I was out there around 5pm to 6pm. Well a couple of buddies thought they saw me out there on the 04 LE with a new red helmet. I figured that might have been you.

Sorry to here about your bike cecil...

0 mph... got bumped while parked... fell over... I was no where near when it happened.
Pretty excited when I saw it though... at least no one was hurt

...God! You kidding

I seriously think you need to get some frame sliders on your bike cecil... It would have saved you quite a few $$$

Maybe... I had a turbo tech look at it... he sounded optimistic.

Here's a couple of contenders for replacement Turbo's....
What are your thoughts on these two?

The GT30R has the potential to create over 500hp.
The GT28R has the potential to create over 350hp.

The GT28R will also spool quicker and be a direct bolt on... little if any modification required (hopefully).

My motor is currently stock, it may or may not remain that way in the future.
Currently, no plan exist to alter the bottom end.


Garrett GT30R Dual Ball-Bearing Turbo

Dual ball bearings allow for higher efficiency and much faster spool up.
Compressor: 76.2 mm, 56 Trim, 0.60 A/R.
Turbo Housing = 0.82 A/R or 1.06 A/R
T3 style turbine.
Supports up to 500 hp.
An excellent high-power bolt-on upgrade for any T3 turbo.
More power and less lag at a higher efficiency than a T3/T4 hybrid turbo.


or how about this one...


Garrett GT28R Dual Ball-Bearing Turbo

Dual ball bearings allow for higher efficiency and much faster spool up.
Compressor: 60 mm, 60 Trim, 0.60 A/R.
Turbine: 62 Trim, 0.64 A/R.
Comes with an internal wastagte.
T25 style housing - a perfect high power T25 or T28 upgrade turbo.
Supports up to 350 hp.
