I was looking around on the internet for some good deals on turbos the best i have seen so far is treadstone.com .48 turbotechnics T3 4 bolt for $594.

Then i stumbled across this website www.usedturbos.net they have a bunch of re built turbos for excellent prices i was looking at this one in particular

Garrett V-Trim TO4B, T3 0.48 a/r 4bolt http://usedturbos.net/Catalog/450-60...let-475hp.html

it fits all my specs, (T3 4 bolt, 0.48a/r) but i don't want to waste money on a turbo that going to brake down on me in the not to distant future.

What are you guys thoughts, i know a turbo is something that you should defiantly not skimp on the website seems to have a lot of rebuilt turbos so i would imagine they do have the tools to get the job done right.

Any one bought , heard anything about this company, or any ideas on this subject.

 

B housing turbos have a narrow compressor map compared to an E cover turbo. That doesn't mean that your not going to make some decent power with a B housing, trust me I'm currently using a Garrett T3/T4b w/ an 82ar turbin housing. However I'd like to go to an E housing or something larger w/ a smaller ar turbin housing. This is just me but I'd go with a middle size turbin housing on a B compressor equipped turbo. That will just give you a tad bit more bang for the buck, though it all depends on your goals and what ya got in your wallet.
Ther is nothing really wrong with a rebuilt turbo as long as it's done correctly using quality components. It's always nicer to get new though. If your set on a B turbo take a look at Turbos direct (got min for $650 I think new). Figure out what you want as far as goals and shop around. I will say that for the money I spent I could have gotten a Garrett 60-1 (flows alot more air) but I'm stuck with a b cover cause of my manifold. Good luck to ya!

 

Some good info I mainly want my car to have good reponse with not to high numbers in terms of HP probably 250 - 300 whp would be real nice.
What manifold you using?
I am kind of worried about fitment with a larger turbo I have a treadstone style exhaust and it will be tight

 

oh my bad you have a huge tread on your set up it looks sick !!!

 

my B cover got me well over 300 my friend on low boost.

 

Thnx but yeah with the goals you have mentioned you shouldn't have a problem with any run of the mill hybrid turbo, only thing to worry about is fitment. Good luck to ya on your quest.

 

Thank you. hope fitment will be not to much of an issue
