Got me some 4.5 inch wide by 15 inch skinny. £150 for the pair

Just need some tyres on them now but the weight saving is a good chunk.

Tyres are 180 quid each.... Just need to get my MOT garage to purchase them so I can pay for them with my company bank account and claim back the VAT

I have just put a deposit down for this beast turbo and the appropriate flanges and clamps

GTX4708R with a Tial 1.45 rear housing. The housing is about 700 on its own

So that makes my 366 turbo up for sale as soon as the new monster arrives

Comes with the v bands and v band clamp  the Mormon turbine housing flange, also will throw in the smaller single entry 0.88 turbine housing, which has a hole drilled in it for where I was going to mount the wastage, will also throw in a piece of stainless to be welded to the housing. Will also come with the compressor housing v band flange an clamp once iv cut it off my piece of pipe AND also will throw in a v band flange and clamp for the turbo inlet to be welded on so that you can use a piece of pipe and route a filter to a good location. Aaaannnd will come with the correct fitting for the oil inlet to us an-4 fitting all for the great price of £600

Blimey Grant either you have a sponsor or its chinese also if its coming from America just about every Garrett product is fake, providing your aware this is not a problem.
I remember Owen Developments telling me they are not bad copies but the blade technology simply isn't there.
 
Like I said providing your aware this is not a problem :great:

Clive I'm getting it from Owen developments, the turbo is costing me over 3 grand.

The rear housing is coming direct from Tial in the states and owens have either got the turbo in stock or they're getting one direct from Garrett as they have to email them. I originally asked about the GTX4708R but they do not supply that version anymore and only now supply the GTX4709R gen 2

Wow, 15 years ago!

Whoops the way the post read I thought you was getting everything for £800  :))
Funny thing is that I mentioned Owen Developments!

Yeh I know. The post was offering my current turbo for 600 quid with all those bits.

I was just trying a few places before to see what I could get and some prices but after trying a number of people in the US and when I mentioned I'm in the UK they just ceased communication so I just went to owens.

I did try AET but they got me quotes for turbos smaller than what I had asked for
