T04E Questions Reply #15 – May 13, 2010, 10:36:53 PM I would try to get a T3, with a .48 A/R if possible. They spool just a bit earlier than the .63, and are still a great upgrade over the IHI. You should have to problem putting on a good used T3 with required parts for your budget. Quote Selected

T04E Questions Reply #21 – May 15, 2010, 12:59:35 AM Generic turbos don't last. I had a JDM Sport (seals failed), then an EMUSA (seals failed also), and now a Precision Garret (no problems). Quote Selected

Lets just say the bearings didnt last very long at high rpms and no oil flow :( so now I am back to running the original that has been on for 3 years now. Quote Selected
