I'm thinking it's the first link but I just wanted to make sure. Sorry to hi-jack your thread...

The first one is the best one, the second is just as well too, and my down2turbo, lasted a long time, and it ran perfect.

Mine too.

Definately don't buy from down2turbo. I've heard story after story of his shitty rebuilds, mine included.

It looked nice when I bought it, but didn't look so nice a few months later when it was spewing oil into my charge pipes. They are real Garrett turbos, but he must suck at rebuilding them or something, or maybe he uses shitty parts.

Dang he must have sucked real bad after his business boomed because alot of us had quite a bit of success in the past when he was initially hitting it big on eBay with his turbos.

Anyways mine was running strong when I took it off at 2-3k miles for smogging. Still looks great today... let me know if you are interested. Im planning on going with a bigger turbo since my plans are now a built ls-vtec.

60 trim T3 is wonderful, 50 trims hit pretty hard on stock D-series as well. Can't go wrong with either of them.

Re: Best t3 for budget build?
 
Yes, i have to agree, T3 60 trim is a great choice for a D series engine.

if the engine is stock, there's no way you will max out a 0.48/0.60 so it's the perfect choice.
