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.

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
