Stay Away From the Seal Grey Tip TT...

Holy ****... Just got done test driving a Seal Grey Tip GT640 and with the new style turbos this thing spools up like a hamster on crack on a wheel. It's so darn fast that in a tip 1st gear is useless with PSM off. 2nd goes all over the road and it settles down into 3rd. Very very fast indeed.

Doing another one this week (a Tip Cab) but after seeing the new style GT640 turbos I feel the need make sure my car is running high high boost... 640 seems underestimated to me. If I had to guess (assuming one could get traction), right now this tip would probably pull a very low 11. Like 11.1 or so.... Good job Tood/Mike/John etc....

I really dig the 640 as it's so easy to get up and running. Some turbos, headers, exhaust, DVs, filter, 5 bar fuel pressure regulator and some software and yer' done.

Which turbos does this package use? Garret Ball Bearing?

Just imagine how fast it would be if it used full-on Garrett GT-30 or 35 turbos rather than a bastard hybrid with K16 hot sides.

These monster cars need a special badge so other slowpo's like me can watch out for them. How bout simply "GT640".

So is this a Stage 4GT kit with just newer turbos? Evo doesn't say anything about it on their site.

Sharky,

Can you confirm that the turbos in the picture are the ones that you used?

The reason none of us really said much is because the size of the compressor wheel did not change for the 640 kit. Only the housing, the housing is a Garrett housing verses the original BW/KKK housing CNCed.
