ITS Turbos anyone used them here?

[Lump]

looking for opinions on ITS turbo's
all i know is these turbos are made in America by Innovative Turbo Systems and are/were sold locally in Australia by Unique Autosports (Castle Hill) and per4formanz in Perth.

googled but cant find much at all, only a few lines on the unique autosports site, no wheel sizes etc.


i tried searching on here but hard to narrow down a search using 'its'

thanks

[Lump]

does anyone know if the '60' in the name ITS 60-1 refers to the turbine exducer bore size?
cause my exducer bore measures 60mm (or a bit more)

A workmate has a 33gtst with an ITS dual ceramic ball bearing centre.. I don't know the model though. Paid muchly for it but seems real happy.

[Bogrolls]

ITS non BB ie plain bearing 60-1 should be ok easy to get parts for
if its their dual ceramic ball bearing it will be great till you have a problem.

had ITS GT72 on a 13bt thats been sitting at the turbo shop for the last 1.5 years cos ITS went broke so can't get parts for it

[Lump]

this ones brand new & i got it for a great price.
i was told on another forum they use garrett cores?? i doubt thats true tho, not that it worries me anyway.

Angry13 on Silviawa had a ITS turbo made 399.7rwhp
swapped for a equivilant Garret 3540 (i think) to crack the 400 mark
he said the Garret made more power and spooled faster then the ITS

what shop is it sitting at cause i was speaking to Grant at per4manz & he said he can rebuild ITS bb turbos, (he uses one on his own race car)

found out mine is a T04E hybrid rated at 535hp :)

[yeahlow34]

I'm using an ITS T60-1 turbo. from what I can gather it was also recommended by Grant at Per4manz. I'm really happy with the set up. Relatively fast spoool and great power. Mines rated at about 550hp from memory.

[Lump]

mine is plain bearing which im happy about & it has 76mm OD comp wheel, 63mm OD turbine wheel.
do you know if yours has the ball bearing upgrade?

[yeahlow34]

I'm sure mines the BB upgrade - although plain bearing rings a bell. I'll have a closer look tongight, and I can measure up the comp and turbine wheel dimensions. By OD I'm assuming you mean 'Overall Dimension'?

[Lump]

yeah, od = outside dimension.
sounds like yours would be very similar
cheers

[yeahlow34]

Yep I'd say they're the same. But I will confirm tonight and let you know. I know I can comfortably run up to about 28-29psi boost limited by the engine (not the turbo). I think their well worth the money, and from all accounts are a quality unit.

[blownVL]

i know some1 with a low 10second vl calais which swears by its, but iv never owned 1 of those turbos b4
