Which Brand of Turbo?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys I am taking off the STS Turbo and going with the new Trick Front mount turbo. I have a Garrett .67 and want to go a little bigger for the front mount.

What brand of turbo is the best and longest lasting? I have heard good things about turbonetics and Garrett.

What are your thoughts?

The STS has been good, But the oil pump has gone out twice. I am tired of cleaning oil out of the intercooler and intake piping. Yes STS has a Garrett gt 60-7. It pushes 10 psi and hauls ass. The new trick is a front mount and has no oil pump to go out. The boost is instant on the Trick. It is a new setup and not a lot of people have it yet. I have seen it run on a motor like mine LQ4 in a SWB SC running 11.5 with limited traction. thats with 3.42 rear end.

Its great. This is an odd ball truck. I ordered this truck in 2000. Its actually a 3/4 ton, but sits like a 1/2 ton and has front coil spring instead of torsion bars. The motor and trans and rear are stock. 6.0L LQ4 low compression 9.0 to 1, 4l80E trans, and the 14 bolt with the ol gernade 80 rear with a 3.73 to 1. The truck has run a 13.4 at 105mph with no traction in Houston and that is with a 2.00 60 ft. I know that this truck is a 12 sec truck the way it sits now if I had my slicks on I probably would've hit it. Oh well, the truck is going under the knife in 2 weeks. I will be running a t76 or even an 80.
