what would be a better turbo then? i have no experience with turbos but i am planning to do my first setup this summer after i save enough money so ive been on all the forum sites searching through threads reading up on turbo stuff so i really dont know wut size turbo to look for since the numbers used to measure have no meaning to me at all

well, that one is fine size wise, perfect for a smaller motor to be street driven. the problem i have w/ it is the inlet flange adapter thats needed. usually they have the volvo T3's pretty cheap. i would email them when you are ready to buy one and see if they have the volvo or saab garrett t3 .42/.48. same size just easier to work w/ in my opinion.
