PTE "Boosted Series" turbo's

**JET** · 10-26-2007

Any one know anything about these? I know they are paying contingencies if guys win using one, but I can't find out squat about them. It says coming mid 2007 on their website and they talk on the front page about a few racers using them. Google let me down though and I couldn't come up with anything.

I want to say its their ball bearing version of the turbos they offer.

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 10-26-2007

When I have asked them, they have said they are mainly turbos built to fit into the rules of specific classes.

**v8klla** · 10-26-2007

They already offer the ball bearing center sections with an "R" designation behind the part number. On the price sheet there is a whole new section for the boosted series, haven't heard much about them either...

Boosted series are a custom designed turbine or compressor wheel to fit in/around class specifications. Similar to the extended tip technology for BW I would imagine.

Wow, guess I am the only PTE vendor here that talks to PTE alot besides ordering parts

What would they do custom exactly? Seems as though they have such a variety of turbos already, there has to be one that fits into whatever class somehow...

Do they make a variable-vein BB 35R that can spool at idle?

As of late I can't get them to make me a turbo in a timely fashion for the life of me lol, as such I have rerouted most of my turbo purchasing elsewhere

Therein lies my problem

Every mitsu bolt on I order ends up with "well we're out of that turbine housing" or "no ETA on ported shroud S covers." lol

Usually no reason to talk to them, we can do a better job picking turbos for setups than they can and they don't have problems getting us GT4788s.

tpunx99GSX · 10-31-2007

Jeebus, GT4788? Soon youll be looking at Thumpers and asking why turbonetics is takeing forever to fill your order of 25 of them...

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 10-31-2007

I wouldn't buy from Turbonetics. One of our customers has been waiting 6 months for them to get his Y2K back to him.

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 10-31-2007

I guess the Boosted version of 61 is done. I think they just redesigned the stage 5 exhaust wheel.

Pushit2.0 · 10-31-2007

Stage 5 is so last year, the new hot street setup is the SC6176s. They could up the A/R on the compressor cover on the "boosted" turbos, I might need a bigger A/R on my 4202, or just try a 4788 like everyone else.

Isn't that the truth.

FattyBoomBatty · 11-01-2007

I think I will get a 4788 for the quest. How mut?

Is this thing gonna make more power, more low-end torque, or what? What is goal and outcome of the new design?

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 11-01-2007

The redesigned exhaust wheels are supposed to have the same inducer/exducer sizes, but be a taller wheel. So they should spool the same but have less backpressure, which could mean more power depending on how the turbo is used. I think they are going to be doing the P-trim and stage 3 wheels in the near future.

**JET** · 11-01-2007

So they are applying the GT wheel technology to a couple of the regular, popular wheels?

Pushit2.0 · 11-01-2007

Or they shave down the Ptrim exhaust wheel to the same diameter as the T350(stage 5) and it ends up being taller then the T350(stage 5) for mad powa.
