Im gonna build a low budget turbo kit for my girls car. Shes gonna be running about 8 psi. Should i go with a t3 or should i go with a t3/4, i dont want something with alot of lag, i just want something thats gonna spool fast and go to redline, she is only gonna be at 8 spi cuase i dont want her to be going crazy,

t3

none....she'll kill other people on the road with her car boosted

None is a good answer. She'll wrap herself around a poll with a boosted Honda. But if you still insist, t3 all the way for 8psi. I'm running a t3/t4 with my GSR and it kicks *** but laggy as hell. A t3 with an A/R over .42 for the exhaust side should be fine. If the car is an autobox, I would go with a .42 A/R exhaust side since she/you won't have that much traction problems in 1st or 2nd in case you rev high--even though an LS won't rev as high as a GSR.

Most girls drive like ---- i admit, but my gf is responsble and knows how to drive a car, and her car is manual. i was thinking of just getting her a t3 garret with internal wastegate, i wasnt sure about the t3 t4 cuase i was pretty sure it was laggy

oh yea and anyone know where i can find a t3 garret brand new , i dont trust ebay, im going cheap but the turbo is the only thing im not gonna skimp on money wise,

Screw it, just pick a smaller turbo for her. Just find a nice used T25 for $100. Or give her a cheap *** fucked up one, like those little shitty DSM turbos that you find on chyslers - and the 1g auto eclipse turbos...
----, can't remember the name, but it mates to a T25 style flange. Do you really forsee yourself staying with this girl long enough for the turbo project to pay for itself?

She is engaged to be my wife, so yes i do, and im not gonna do something half *** just cuase its easy and cheap as ----. Im gonna do it right. And just becuase its not going on my car doesnt mean im not gonna give a ---- how it turns out, Alot of us put pride into the stuff we do even if its not are own cars

Hey man, I understand, you should see the maricales I work on my family's cars.. spent a good 8 hours on my dad's car yesterday.

I'm just seeing you dumping a lot of money into a girls car, if I did that for a girl she would surely dump me afterwards just for principal. Go all out if this is going to be a family vehicle.

I was suggesting a smaller, cheaper turbo because that is maybe all she needs. Think about it, unless you're building the block up and plan on major boostage is a t3/t4 really necessary? I think a good condition T25 might fit the bill for your needs. Weigh your options out man.
