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 .Thats why it wasnt building boost,and thats why it was replaced.I cleaned it up and the ****** 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

yeah i think the T25 takes my vote. looks like the turbo my buddy has from a saab... that thing spools FAST!

even $100. for a t25 shipped is a good deal. what car's it gonna go on?

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.
