i would probobly just weld up the hole. my log manifold has a flange for external

it would be $130 with shipping and he says

"
Selling a Garrett T-3 Turbocharger. The A/R on this turbo is .60-.63 With a Stage 3 Exhaust housing & Wheel. There is nothing wrong with this turbo i pulled it off and replaced it with a bigger one on my car so i have no use for it know. When i pulled this off my car i had no problem making 20 psi of boost. I just hate to see a perfectly fine turbo laying around the garage."

Yes, this is a stage 3 turbine and if it has a 0.63 housing, it's good for some serious power.

However the compressor side is a T3 60 trim that will barely make 290 HP so it's a pointless turbo as is. If you're to run a t3 60 trim compressor, you can live with a MUCH smaller turbine and downgrade that huge turbine for some thing such as a stage one, 0.48 or 0.63 a/r.

However it doesn'T mean it's a bad turbo to purchase! i mean, i could do wonders with that thing, just rebuilding it and swapping that compressor for a decent one such as T04B V or H trim or T04e 46, 54 or 57.

how can you tell if it has a stage 3 turbine? I have 2 of thise turbos but I think one is a little different from the other. I know 1 is water cooled and the other is not, but the wheels on the cold side look different 2.
