Default got the new turbo :D

Turbo is a Garrett t3/t4 a/r. 60 turbo. Professionally balanced, and clipped. still has one year warranty left on it. came off of my friends mr2 build he made 407whp on this turbo @ 17psi. the shop that did the work for him said it was good for 440 to 450whp. no shaft play @ all.. hit full spool @ 2900 on his 2.0L. im just using it for now. got a good deal on it. Got it for $250, if it dont work out i will just sell it and get a bigger one. although it is pretty big. has 12k miles on it.









PS- where can i find the bolts to mate the turbo to the t3/flange?

lol i dont think so. i only rev out 2 5200rpms. and @ least a 35shot of nitrous is going back on it looking for mid 300whp when all is said and done with a ford 8.8" rearend and a 3000stall torque convter should be one hell of a ride

thanks. i am gonna have alot of questions for yall comming within the next 2 or 3 weeks.


i got a couple right now-

on my turbo. the t3 exhaust side has a 4bolt exit pattern. i cant find a gasket or flangefor it. its circular 4-bolt pattern for a t3 yall know where i can get a gasket or flange for this bolt pattern?

Also how are you guys shaping your exaust to fit right up to the turbo flanges. just using a hammer?

On sts kits- the oil return goes into the oil cap...... so i need to cut a hole in the oil cap and tap it then screw the fittin in. if i want to change the oil in my truck just take the line off the the fitting and unscew the cap?
