Default Re: How Are The Atp Turbo Kits?

I have the atp gt3076r w/ external wastegate and i love it. This is the only bolt-on turbo that i whould buy. Great quality and power. On pump gas there pretty close to power and performance of a true rotated set-up. Imo it doesnt get any better except going rotated. If you search youll see a lot of great reviews on it.

Ive never heard anything bad about atp turbos, everyone i've seen is very nice. I've owned 2 blouch turbos as well. My most recent was a dom3 that wasnt machined throughly ins ome spots that made install very difficult.
As far as I understand the Dominator 3 is a Garret center with different covers. Blouch service is top notch too.

There's a rumour (read: one random guy posted...) that ATP is working on twinscroll exhaust housings. If true, it will probably be possible to upgrade the housing alone, and go twinscroll with the same CHRA and compressor cover.

Of course, that's just speculation piled on top of a rumour. It is tantalizing though.

i will never go with a dom 3. ive heard of them breaking/cracking. never heard of that with the atp's. the only "rumor" was that atp was selling imported turbo's kinda like aps. either way im still getting an atp. here is a great link to alot of overlaid turbo comparisons on a dyno. i think this is what you've been looking for.

my tuner had his blouch turdo rebuilded 3 times in an month and a half by blouch until he decided to leave it there, because of bad customer care and been using atp since!!! I istalled a 3076 and waiting to break in the motor to retune,,,but on stock motor ,just reflashed,complete exhaust,walbro pump,colder plugs, injen intake on 93 octane we got 319whp and 377 of torque,,,I dont know why we shouldnt get 440 whp with a fmic from turbo xs,deatchwerks 750cc injectors,perring rails,aero motive gas reg,changed to act hd street disk and plate,also had to replace to cp forged pistons and arp stud with factory gaskets,remember if changing turbo I advice a wideband and evc,,,good luck

I've read about several broken dom3's. fasteners coming loose and cracked welds are two thing's i seen personally on one dom 3. Blouch did fix the fasteners but didn't reweld it.

Not to hijack the thread, but does the install of the GT3071R or GT3076R require FMIC? I am looking at both of these for a winter project after I upgrade my suspension.

Never heard or seen a blouch turbo fail. Neither has my teacher. And all I can hear from them is good customer service. That is why I will go with a Dom 4. Atp turbos look nice but meh, I'll go with what I know.
