I found this turbo on ebay and just got my mind wondering...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GT45-T4-TUR...sspagenameZWDVW

540 bucks for a gt45 t4 turbo but it doesnt look like it will bolt on to any manifold for the beta...and would it just be to big to be very effeciant even you got it to bolt on and tuned?

Just a thought

My tibs already in the shop waiting for the internal work and I would really like to have 400+whp when its all said and done...but I need a good (cheap) but still pretty big turbocharger.

ok, im not really trying to be a dick... but are u even serious with that tubro? your car will NOT spool it, it wont fit between the motor and the stock radiator and good and CHEAP do not go together...

get a gt30r or a gt35R if u want good power but they are expensive

again


GOOOD and CHEAP does not happen

why not pickup a nice t3/t4 from precision or garret? precision makes great turbos and their t3/t4 is around 600 bux and will be a great turbo


stay away from ebay cheapers, ive seen so many of those things fail from dumb shit its not even funny
