fnky Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) Long time lurker here... Has anyone heard of a 0.52ar TIAL turbine housing? I've noticed WEPR listing them as an option and a few European suppliers listing them but nothing from the UK or from TIAL themselves. Does anyone know if this is something TIAL used to do that's now been discontinued? I'm looking at options for the next turbo upgrade and am ruling in/out any potential Garrett options for a short list. Edited December 5, 2016 by fnky Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nikhilkamdar12 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Hi guys, Recently bought a GTX2860 from Owens and phoned literally all the stockists of TiAL exhaust housings in the UK and nobody has GT28 housings Reason is TiAL had some manufacturing issues and earlier this year was this latest batch of housings but all the US tuners bought them and hardly, if any came to the UK. I bought my TiAL housing from ATP Turbo in California and luckily is down the road to my grandparents and they were coming to visit the UK, so popped it in the suitcase, missing postage and import tax Hope you find one though mate!

fnky Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 Well, I guess I will see how it goes... WEPR said they only sell them as part of a kit, which is no good for me but did say they were in limited supply I will try Owens and see where it gets me. I'm not in a rush so, if it goes on back order........m'eh. I quite like the look of the Gen2 GTX2860R. I think a 0.52ar turbine housing on one of those might be a serious contender. Thanks for the input chaps, much appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fnky Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 They fully back in stock now? Or have they put you on back order?Yup, they've got 5 on the shelf. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nikhilkamdar12 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Awesome, good that they managed to get stock now! Will be a super fast turbo, still have to fit mine up and see the results, sure it won't disappoint Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gorganl2000 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 that 0.48 - 0.52 a/r turbine housing range is usually decent on a lot of "streetable" set ups with moderate sized turbos...it really allows you to use the stock rev range and even somewhat over Quote Link to post Share on other sites
