Thanks Foreal.
So to further this, am I right in thinking Grunter = big 16G compressor wheel and BadBoy has the 18g?

Yes with the grunter having a smaller A/R turbine housing and the badboy with a larger one.
Last GX I was shown measurements of had a 65mm wheel instead of a 68mm. everything else matched a big 16g. Been awhile though there might be a minor revision.

He changes stuff all the time, it's fairly unusual for him to keep the same wheels for any length of time
Super excited for updates Rob. Do you have an ETA for sale?
Not at this stage, but if the dyno results meet expectations, then I don't see why you couldn't order one from him pretty much straight away
And you guys are hoping to dyno this year?
Early next year, I'm waiting for parts to fix the front axle. Might get it done NY weekend, so will be back on rollers asap after that, but freight delays might set it back a week or two
Awesome. Looking forward to pricing and dynos.)
I'll keep everyone posted
Sounds juicey! do tell!
It's quite juiced haha. Let's just say rob blocks anyone that speaks out against this turbo.
The turbo details are its a procharge turbo built by a competitor after his last Gturbo was apparently thrown out.
No, I block people that cannot have a constructive discussion based on facts. Such as yourself. The Gturbo was thrown out. For all I knew it had failed beyond the point of repair and he made no effort to get it back. This turbo is not a copy, it's a prototype. He won't copy gturbos because of the issues he's seen with them, he's been building turbos for over 20 years and doesn't need to base his designs on anyone elses.
If that helps u sleep at night so be it. People know what's going on regardless.
Let's not let a cat fight get in the middle of turbo news and developments. Take it to PMs ladies.
Any updates?
Only cat-fights on PM's!

Resident galah
Nothing of note, I've installed the turbo and finished the front axle, have been driving it all week, not going to jump to any conclusions yet, we'll wait for the dyno to provide the full story
first impressions ? Good, bad,hard to tell?
My butt dyno lied when I bolted the gturbo on, it was fooled by better response, so I'll reserve comment on performance until after the dyno runs. But I'm not disappointed after driving the best gturbo has to offer for a year. We'll leave it at that until I've got some figures
You don't sound overwhelmed at this point, ya?
