VGT (Variable Geometry Turbo)?

Anyone building a VGT Turbo similar to the FURDs that will hold an aggressive box? How much?

Someone said ATS (the trans folks), about $2300, out in a couple of weeks. Unverified. Give them a call.

I last heard that they dropped both the VGT and the Aurora because of manufacturing problems.

Unless the VGT Is built specifically for the intended HP I dont think that it would keep up to the task. They have a very small efficiency range, I would be better than our stock HY/9's for sure but for the money I can make a set of twins and be WAY ahead of the game. But I would also buy a B1 before I bought a VGT.

Well, ATS raced a DMAX with an Aurora last August at Edge Days...

And I will say that the new Ford Harley flavor, bone stock right off the lot with VGT, spanked every other stock truck there. If I remember right it came in under 16:00. There can't be much wrong with that VGT.

twins for under $2500? I assume thats DIY.

good comments about the bolt in B1. I thought they had some production problems (delays, not quality) a while back. So everything is good now?
