Turbo Charger for VTF3-MKII? (Canada)

[unknownshadow]

Hey guys, been ages since I posted here but I have been happily enjoying my VTF3-MKII for a few years now ;-)

Just wondering if the Turbo Charger was ever released for this sub? I do not see it listed anywhere on the website? Also, is there now an official Canadian Dealer for HSU. I purchased mine from SuperTeck but they seemed to have dropped off the face of the earth???

Any info appreciated! Thanks!

Wow it's been a loooong time since I've seen you post. Pete, can probably help more, but the turbo was never release the VTF3 MKII(though years ago I put a turbo on a VTF3 MKII even though it hung over the sides about an inch) before upgrading to the VTF3 HO. Also Hsu no longer makes the turbo.

Yes it has been a while! I typically lurk around forums when I am looking for advise on a major purchase. But then if I am happy with that purchase I tend to stay away from these places because I get bad cases of 'upgradisis' ;-)

And let's just say I have been more than happy with the VTF3-MKII! I have just recently built a false wall in my HT room, basically cutting off 2 feet, and built a new screen on that wall. And placed all my equipment behind it so the look is much cleaner and nicer. I never liked the look of the turbo charger so never really bothered with it. But now that my sub is hidden I figured it might be a good option to tack on there!

Too bad it is no longer made. Any ideas where I could get one these days? Did it make much difference on your MKII when you had it?

I had the turbo on my VTF3 MKII from April to September of 2006 and it was a nice improvement. In September of 2006 I bought a VTF3-HO w/Turbo and I've had it ever since. Since I bought the HO with a turbo I sold the turbo that I had on the VTF3 MKII. Turbos are pretty hard to come by these days. I just sold my VTF3-HO w/Turbo so you are about a week late, but I was only selling the turbo with the sub.

Here's some pics a comments from back in 2006 when I had the VTF3 MKII with the turbo on it. http://forum.hsuresearch.com/showthr...ighlight=turbo

Yeah I remember reading your reviews back then. Sounds impressive! I just found someone selling a VTF3-MKII locally so I think I am going to try out dual MKII's and see how that goes.

But I'd sure love to find a couple of turbo chargers for these things! Why did Hsu stop making them? I was looking forward to these subs being 'upgradeable' but now it looks like that is not the case!

I had dual VTF3 MKII back in 2006 and you won't be disappointed. Pete mentioned the reason for discontinuing the HO and turbo in this thread. http://forum.hsuresearch.com/showthread.php?t=25287

Well I see old friends are still around well guys I have held on to my two VTF3 MKII's waiting for something new to best them I see the new 15 inch subs and they look interesting but my two 3 MKII's still sound excellent I considered the JL Audio F113 but wondered if spending double plus money will get me doulble plus performance. Just heard Micheal Jackson's this is it concert on the 3 MKII's and they rocked. Plus my piano blk subs just look cool upgrade bug go away.
