Who else has seen these on eBay? Has anyone actually used one? They're about 300, rekon they are go for 15% more flow. If that's right, ill be conservative and say 15% of 310 = roughly 350ish rwkw. Are they a viable option if your happy with that power and don't wana change everything you need for a GTX?

There's a reason there isnt many/any topics on the forum about these....

There's another reason but we wont go into that....

Did I read somewhere where one of these worked really well until it started getting hot.. Then it expanded and completely seized?

Its "basically" a GTX 67 wheel ( 3576 ) small turbo GTX

But not the garrett quality

If u have a look at the GTX 3576 turbo its "about" 15% better than the (small turbo xr6 ) GT3576

So u can see the claims

Always be warey of non genuine turbo parts

Ok cheers jet. Good to know about the 76'. Basically I want a little more power, didn't feel much different to me at all from stock to 290rwkw, but I'm not really chasing big power at the moment (about 340 350 something that feels stronger than what I have now) I wana go brakes/coilovers/looks first. Maybe ill wait and just do the GTX when I save for it!
