so the general concensus is they're good turbos, so what do you guys recommend for a stock b18b which i will probably build later?

Granted, I am a noob, but where are you going to get a plate that matches this bolt pattern?



What would you do here?



Personally, I won't buy a turbo off him because I emailed him some questions and he didn't take the time to even acknowledge that he got them.

Thats funny. I asked several questions and he answered almost immediately. You can buy that flange on ebay. A local exhaust shop may have it too. Very common flange. AMC,Jeep,Nissan,GM all use it.

You mean one of these?




I ordered mine off Egay for like $30 shipped? I got impatient waiting for it so I went and made one. I took a square of 1/4" steel, a grinder, a torch, a drill, and a chopsaw(to surface it)and BAM! HomeMadeFlanges.

If you asked the guy a stupid question I'm sure he just disregarded it. I'm sure he gets about 500,000 emails a day from dumbass ebayers asking him retarded questions like "How can I bolt this turbo to my car?" or "How much would you charge to install this turbo on my car?"

Thanks. I had only seen the normal 4 or 5 bolt flanges.

No, the question wasn't stupid... it was a decent question about more information on one of the turbos he was selling. He didn't have the AR and trim listed.

what size t3 are you guys talking about? .42/.48 is much different than a .60/.63 personally on a built b18 I'd be looking at a t3/t4 because if I build a motor I'm not going to ---- around with some ----- boost numbers.
