Yea, I know, I'm such a complainer lately.

A long time ago, back when I first started collecting my turbo parts, one of the first parts I bought was the turbo from Onpol. (Most of you old schoolers should remember him) He advertised it as a T3/T04e capable of "400whp easy". It cost me $500.
Well, after 2.5 years, I had to finally send the turbo to get rebuilt by Majestic. While it was there, I figured I'd ask them for the specs. They told me it wasn't a to4e, it was a t04b, MUCH smaller. I ask him what kind of flow and power its capable of. He says 350hp max. That's well below my HP goals and isnt upgradable.
I don't know if maybe Onpol was lied to and never really knew what the specs were, but now I've got to start looking for a bigger turbo. mad.gif


Since the turbo is worthless to me now, I'm getting ready to spend about $800 on a T3/T60-1.

Ouchies.

From reading old posts, Onpol seemed like a pretty nice guy, so I dunno whether he knew or not.

Yea, he had most of the stuff done by his shop, so they might have told him the wrong specs.
