KC38R Availabilty

I am researching items for an excursion Re-power
And originally was thinking Garret 38R but have read good things about the KC , but it seems they are sold out every where.

Anybody have any intel before I contact them ?

If you are willing to part with 1500 for a 'drop in' turbo, I would highly suggest you skip that do a T4/SXE turbo swap. You will be much happier.

Why? I thought the new KC38R is an exact copy of an SXE, just in a "drop in" frame/configuration, avoiding the need for a costly T4 "kit"?

As of about 2 weeks ago, Charlie (KC Turbos owner) said they would be available this month (January).

On the 20th of this month the AZ Power Stroke club is having a dyno day. I will have some numbers to share.

Waiting on those number. Charlie Fish is taking names on a list, first come first serve type of thing. I myself like what I've read on this turbo. T4 would be nice, but very costly. And hard in Cali to smog as well.
