2 much

u buy a used t3/t4
u buy a new ball bearing sc34

Re:t3 60/48
 

if its really new and comes with a decent external gate then its worth it..might be a tad small for your motor but still very good

Yeah, seems kind of pricey but like ghettoturbo said, if it's a true "brand new" turbo, go for it. I ran the same size turbo with my first setup on a B18B and it ripped. Thats an awesome street turbo for that engine. Spools around 2900-3000 and full boost before 4000. It pulled great.

o and whats the thing with losing pressure at higher rpms? i was reading about johnys t3 super 60 in his ls losing about 5 pounds at about 5000rms?

Re:t3 60/48
 

i thought sc34 weren't ball bearing?

Re:t3 60/48
 

Don't know but I never had a problem. It certainly would have boosted more had my engine been built. Only reason I'm not using it anymore is because I cooked the oil seals :P
