Ok well I bought this bicth off of ebay.It was under the heading that it was a T3 of of a 1999 Saab 900.Its a Garrett .48/.49 ar so I though it would be biger that a 42/48.I won it for $100 shipped.Well when I recieved it I was shocked!The ------- thing is as big as a T25.Is it T25?Its ------- tiny!

Well here is where it gets good,the seller sold it couse he replaced the one in his car couse this one was suposedly fucked up and not building boost.Well I go to take off the turbine housing and 2 of the bolts are loose and you can see where the exhaust was leaking :o.Thats why it wasnt building boost,and thats why it was replaced.I cleaned it up and the fucker is pretty much brand new.There is no shaft play what so ever and it spins like no other turbo I have seen befor.Blades are like new too.So basically I scored a "like new"turbo for $100 shipped 8)

Your right.And yeah it will spool fast.I didnt really like that fact that my T3 .42/.48 laged a little on my old car.This time Im going to go for "instaspool" ;)

Hopefully a 92-95 hatch.Yeah the price aint bad at all.I figure if I dont use it I could clean it up and get at least 4150 for it on egay :-\.

Only the pasrt #s wich I finally found on google.I wonder why the a/r is a .48/.49 but its so small.In math class they all ways tought me that the coser to .100 you greator the biger it is.But then again that was the LAUSD :P

Yaeh.the guy was honest and he told me he didnt know what kind of turbo it was but he thought it was a T3.I found it 30 minutes before auction closed so I didnt have much time to run the part #s.
