Gtx29 turbo.... Is this real life

[blake0521]

What's the point? Is it really a difference over the gtx28 frame?

If your going to max out that turbo, your gonna be built. If your built, your going to want a bigger turbo and more power. At least for straight line speed.

Im curious about its spool characteristics. Might be a good turbo for twists and turns.

It seems like a fun, yet slippery slope. Go big turbo, want to crank it up so you build the motor, and then you want more boost. And then you end up with an empty wallet and a grin from ear to ear. Meh, fair trade off.

Honestly, I don't really know. Other than giving people more choices... When it comes down to it, you are looking at 100 to 300rpm differences in spool between each turbo and a couple lbs/min differences in flow up top. But hey, they are available for anyone who decides that they want them!

They seem to be releasing every size possible in the gtx line, maybe see more profits to be had.
Maybe on another platform this is the perfect turbo to max their block, who knows, more options are always good.

It really is just about giving more options. Some of these turbos are so close in size that you wouldn't notice the difference between them, but they just fill in the gaps between the bigger and the smaller turbos.
