Looked at a lot of other turbo mfg. and I keep coming back to turbonetics, so please let me know what my options are in some other turbos with on center housing that will work for my application.
Thanks,

Bill,
You could certainly go with straight up T72s with F1-68 turbines and on center housings. Those should be more reasonable. There's also the TN Series which is a lower cost unit (no polished compressor housing) that still has all the technology minus the ported compressor shroud. Something like the TN800-BB would work.

Heres a link to the TN Series:

TN Series Turbochargers | www.TurboneticsInc.com - Boosting Since 1978 | turbochargers, intercoolers, wastegates, blow-off valves, controls, boosting systems, turbo kits, forced induction parts & accessories


So you could either do the TN Series TN800-BB which is a lower cost unit with the same performance and technology and a little less show. Or you could do straight up T-Series HP72s with F1-68 turbine wheels oncenter. You can think of the TN Series as a regular T72 without a polished compressor cover.
