If they didnt, then
Went with the 5862, turbo is way more capable then everyone thinks. I was hitting full boost at 5300ft elevation at 3500-3900 rpms depending how much boost I was pushing. On only 26psi (with a slipping transmission before XHP was released) Easily walked a hellcat with it. Turbo is extremely fun on the street to daily drive. no, it won't spool full at 2500 rpms, but realistically, unless you have a pure reason to be spooling that much torque down low, it's not needed. Plus, drive line parts hat low end torque. So unless you've upgraded all your drive line parts, expect to break shit making tons of power down low.
SO stoked on the single kit and use of Garrett turbos. 500whp GTX3076r 135i track car will be awesome.
I like to hear this. Did you ever dyno this turbo? I have been on the lookout for someone who had this turbo and dynod it so i can see what the curve would look like. Thanks
Another turbo I thought would be awesome on this motor, that I haven't seen any good info on, is the DBB 6062.
Awesome work, huge step forward again for the twins on this platforme.
Any possible arrangements for the ones who have just finished bolting up the first gen of GC and are affraid of the said 9blade wheel failure

If you want to send them in, we offer updates to the new wheels at no charge and cover shipping for you. Problem is, some of the wheels never give any issues, others would lose a fin in a short time. Its honestly been a bit of a nightmare, and having our own wheels cast was the only way to ensure no more issues. There are other turbo vendors announcing new offerings with the same wheels, they know very well there is an issue with, and instead of fixing it, they just ignore it and blame things like 2-step, burble tunes, NLS etc for the failures, and void warranties. Once we realized there was a real issue, it was no questions asked we would make it right at no cost to the customer. The issue was/is very real, and it cost us in the neighborhood of 6 figures to get it taken care of. Thank god it is behind us.
First off, hats off to the VTT gang for turning the crank and working to make things better. As a customer this is confidence inspiring, amongst other things.
That said I could use some help deciphering the above product announcement. It is hard to understand what products exist once this happens: "GC Reboot" "GC line up" "GC 2.0 reboot" "GC family" "GC's and GClites" "Full sized GC’s, and GC Lites". It says, "we took our already potent GC line up, and did a ground-up redesign, getting rid of some things we didn't like, and adding things we wanted to improve." but then "Full sized GC's, and GC Lites still available". Finally "Rebooted pricing. With all these improvements the GC line up will cost less when released NOT more."
- Once released, there one GC product and one GC lite product, which are the latest "reboot 2.0" versions? Or are you selling 4 versions of "the family" - originals and reboots?
- Depending on the above question, what is "reboot pricing"? "Improvements in the GC line up will cost less when released not more" implies they are replacing the existing products with new, lower cost. Yet that contradicts the prior line that says, GC and GC lites "still available"
Thanks, all of you.

The GC family includes the (full sized) GC's, and the GC lites. That hierarchy exists with the new GC designs. In other words just like before we'll have GC's and GC lites. Just new/updated/prettier/higher flow/cheaper/more betterer.
We're still supporting first gen GC's of course, but once the new version GC's are here they are all we'll sell new.
Prices for new GC family will be less than old. So they're better and cheaper.

Glad to see you have the issue resolved. I assume this would be for the original owner? How much would the fix be for GCs I bought second hand? Thank you.
Shoot me an email and let's talk.
This was around a couple years ago at this point, 2500 elevation, 18-19psi. Also want to mention this was a JB Gen 1 5862. So it could be better.
Damn, that looks awesome. What hotside was on the turbo? Would be amazing to see G2 DBB. Wish there were more builds like this.
Too many people run turbos for power levels they will never achieve. thus ruining DD ability to a high extent. 84 A\R, with a bigger exhaust side and a G2 BB I'm sure it would be seriously nasty on the street.
