hmmm buy a 71mm now or wait for the release of a 72? So tempting.

Simple.... by a 71mm now, sell it to me for half price when the 72s make an appearance. :thumbup:

You know, we'll also be testing a 72 with a larger turbine wheel that might make even more power once my truck is back together. The longer you wait, the more options you have, but I expect a minimum of 1 month before the first 72 ships. 71's are available to ship now, and are a great turbo, so how patient are you?

I bet we see another gain right there with the larger turbine, even more so with fuel added - how large of gain idk but I've been thinking of a stock vgt/s4 combo for a while with a large turbine wheel. Really pumped to see some more results!

I'm ready to order at the moment but I could easily hold off for the 72mm if the price is right. Will they be available from the elite dealers such as rudy's in a month or so as well?

I don't even think a production unit cost or retail price have been set yet, but as someone who has no authority to make the call, I expect if pre ordering is an option, then all units pre-ordered direct from elite will ship first. If there is a big waiting list, then that would mean a long time before any vendors would have any. This is just me speculating though. I don't get involved with that stuff. You can expect something in the Elite vendor forum by one of the sales guys when things get closer.

sounds good. I'll keep an eye out. Pre-sale PSA price? :toast:

What kind of ebp's are you guys seeing on the 72 vs the 71? What tunes have been tested on it so far? Need for a WG?

So you're going to test it on your truck that had low FRP when testing the 71mm vs. 71mm batmo? Wouldn't a better test be done on JDs truck with the larger turbine wheel?

When we test it on waynes truck it will have full rail pressure (Twin K16's).

But won't that be an invalid test on his truck since it wasn't running right when you did the 71mm precision vs. 71mm batmo? What will that show, just what it "can" do?

It would be invalid. We will start the testing over again. Starting with just a stock set of chargers, then add batmo's, then the 71, 71 batmo, 71 K31, 71 Batmo K31, then 72, etc, etc. We aren't testing just power, but spool up, egt's, empty and towing.

Good deal, looking forward to your results

then you need to see how much is gained with the ported intakes... and how much the turbos benefit from it...

Dzchey21 · Sep 21, 2012

Beans71086 · Sep 21, 2012

That's asking a bit much lol. I'd just be happy to see before and after of the ported intake on stock chargers. They don't need to slap that sucker in there for every turbo also.
