Check it out, standard scm series turbos now available w/ BB center sections! Price is pretty nice too!

Anyone know anything further about these? seems like the price is just slightly more than the journal-bearing style turbos. Wonder what the quality is like?

Interesting. The ad makes it sound like PT&E is using their own bb setup instead of the GT series Garretts. I wonder if they are the old style bb setups that only support half of the shaft with a bb. That price is great for a bb.

Garrett recently released dual BB center sections for any T3/T4 shaft size turbo. So you can can get stuff like the 50-trim in a dual BB version. You can also get the PT67 with the dual BB center section. The dual BB PT67s have an introductory price that is less than the cost of a standard PT67.

HUMMM - my brother wants a GT35R maybe I'll sell him mine and buy a larger turbo.

So maybe the prices on these things will go up? Man it's really tempting...fight the urge, fight it! Hrm, JET I'll buy your scm61...

Shane, will you be able to get your hands on these if someone would like to buy one locally?

Yea, we can get them. The prices on Speedfactor's site will probably stay around that, but I could be wrong. I haven't talked to PTE on the prices of the smaller T3/T4 turbo like those. The introductory price was on the PT67 DBB, and I am talking around the price of the ones listed above.

I guess they are all the same price for now. We are selling the 50-trim dual BB all the way up to the 67 dual BB for $850.

I think you'll sell a bunch of those things. What kinda options can you get? Internal/external WG, exaust housing/flange, etc?

I hate to do it but I think I'm gonna drop the cash for a new turbo soon.

Internal gates are extra. Larger compressor covers are extra. T3, T4, and Mitsu exhaust housings should all be the same price.
