Check it out, standard scm series turbos now available w/ BB center sections! Price is pretty nice too!

Anyone know anything further about these? seems like the price is just slightly more than the journal-bearing style turbos. Wonder what the quality is like?

Interesting. The ad makes it sound like PT&E is using their own bb setup instead of the GT series Garretts. I wonder if they are the old style bb setups that only support half of the shaft with a bb. That price is great for a bb.

Garrett recently released dual BB center sections for any T3/T4 shaft size turbo. So you can can get stuff like the 50-trim in a dual BB version. You can also get the PT67 with the dual BB center section. The dual BB PT67s have an introductory price that is less than the cost of a standard PT67.

HUMMM - my brother wants a GT35R maybe I'll sell him mine and buy a larger turbo.

Must...resist...the...urge!!! My turbo only has 400 miles on it, I can't upgrade yet, can I? :P

**scheides** · 10-17-2005

So maybe the prices on these things will go up? Man it's really tempting...fight the urge, fight it! Hrm, JET I'll buy your scm61...

Shane, will you be able to get your hands on these if someone would like to buy one locally?

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 10-18-2005

Yea, we can get them. The prices on Speedfactor's site will probably stay around that, but I could be wrong. I haven't talked to PTE on the prices of the smaller T3/T4 turbo like those. The introductory price was on the PT67 DBB, and I am talking around the price of the ones listed above.

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 10-18-2005

I guess they are all the same price for now. We are selling the 50-trim dual BB all the way up to the 67 dual BB for $850.

I think you'll sell a bunch of those things. What kinda options can you get? Internal/external WG, exaust housing/flange, etc?

I hate to do it but I think I'm gonna drop the cash for a new turbo soon.

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 10-18-2005

Internal gates are extra. Larger compressor covers are extra. T3, T4, and Mitsu exhaust housings should all be the same price.

Damn it if I wasn't haveing to save for the Move back to MN. I'd be all over buying a T4 turbo. With HKS building there T4 Cast Manifold again (well at least there is a group buy on dsmlink.forums for them for $650) timing would be awesome. But the money has to go towards savings.

Hey, I run a PT67

I was actually going to have the guys over there convert it while it was there, but I decided to wait untill the new motor is in

What's up Shane

Do they offer anything between the the GT56 and the PT67 wheel?

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 10-26-2005

What is a GT56? They don't offer too many wheels because the cheap dual bb center sections only come with a few exhaust wheels. For example, the 61mm GT35R comp wheel based turbos like the SC61/GT3561 usually use the T350 or GT35 exhaust wheel, which Garrett is not offereing yet in the DBB cartridge. So if you wanted a DBB 61mm turbo, it would probably have to be a P-trim, which is a bit laggy. Right now they are offering the 60-1 and 67mm for bigger wheels. They can't do the 63mm, because it is a big shaft based comp wheel.

**JET** · 10-26-2005

Fine, get picky

I was talking about the 56 trim 61mm GT35R wheel. I call it a GT56 for short, so the rest of the world should just adapt! I guess I will stick with mine for now. I don't want to make a jump to the PT67 yet.
