[injected79]

Im am currently running the gt3788r on my truck, quick spool and great drivability

 

[moss765]

is it a loud whistle? any problems with it? what do i need to look for when i go meet the guy and look at it? is it hard to hook up the water line?

They drive and spool great but you'll make more power with the 66mm.

That's the charger I'd like to have in the next set of twins.

 

[moss765]

do u guys think it will help with my mileage compared to the 66 i got?

This charger has a pretty good whistle to it, install is pretty simple, the water lines are no big deal, they just tap into your heater core lines. The biggest thing to check for in it is shaft play. here is a video of my truck, this will give you an idea on how loud the whistle of charger is, and how quick it spools. Keep in mind the truck was weighing 9500 ibs, on concrete.

i run that turbo on my truck fast spooling is it a stage 3?

 

[moss765]

no its the stage 2

 

[daithi2]

no its the stage 2

keep yours...

the stage 2 is a GT3782R, i ran the stage 3 (GT3788r), it was a good turbo spools fast but power wasnt there, and egt's were high. i sold mine and was going to go silver bullet, but i wound up going twins instead.

I have this same turbo on my 06 and LOVE it!! Spools WAY better than stock, 0 to 35 lbs. in about 1.5 to 2 seconds from idle, climbs right up to 50 pretty easy. If I hold it to the floor, it gets hot, 1400-1450 deg. at 85-95 mph. I plan to add a GT4508r after the ported head goes on! Get It!!:rockwoot:

You need to know who it was bought from. If it had been a stage 3 from Tom at Turbo-Resource, he modifies the exhaust housing so they use an hx-40 style flange and have cooler egts than just buying a stage 3 straight from Garrett.
