Looking at the turbo bay upgraded turbos. Has anyone used these turbos? Any feedback? Whats the mm of these compared to the gh turbos. Website doesnt say. I believe they are all rebuilt from fomoco cores so why the huge difference in price? I cant justify forking out for the gh turbos for a few more psi so just curious about other options. Please dont say it depends on what im going for. Im well aware if whats needed for "full send" lol. Just curious about the quality of these different companies.

Of course, I'm still trying to build mine but I do have the turbo Bay turbos and I think I am one of the first ones. I'm dying to get this project back on the books but let me look through my emails and I will get back to you to let you know what my options were. I ended up buying brand new turbos from Ford and drop shipping them to him.
I've heard some folks had troubles with them I think but as far as service and whatnot I have to say everything has been great.

Here is a quick email I found on my invoice:
Invoice Date
Apr 26, 2022
FTW-SHOSTG3XR

1 x $2,195.00
FULL RACE BUILD: CNC machined turbine housings, CNC machined bearing housings, CNC machined compressor covers, new seals, new rings, upgraded thrust components, new bearing housings, TBP custom billet compressor wheels, TBP high flow larger turbine wheels, race balanced assembly

Thanks for the reply. Yeah i noticed the TB ones are a bit cheaper than the GH. Ive never heard anything bad about turbo bay from what ive seen though. Their website doesnt give alot of info. Ill probably give them a call and see what they say. Thanks again.

I've searched high and low for emails and I'm now recalling I wasn't given a lot of information so I called Matt. Remembering more now some of his information is proprietary but talking to him was kind of fun because he does have a passion for forced induction. He has some nasty neon builds and I think there may be some more information on Instagram. However, that was a few years back so maybe there's more information available now. Please let us know where you end up!

Thank you for your knowledge. I have a pair of core turbos. Not exactly sure where to send them. I've seen prices from $1900 to $4000. No one exactly says how much power I'll pick up. It's 2025. Turbo technology has changed a lot in 10 years. What turbos or shop has the fastest SHOs?

I would get with Matt from Gearhead and ask him.
