they're not 'that' hard to find. my buddy just picked up a MINT one (1 of 2) for his TT 5.0 project for 125 bucks shipped! beautiful turbo, no play, very clean, came with outlet and inlet flange as well. back in the day when i used one, i got it for about 110 shipped and it was pretty mint. you can find them pretty easily, just not as easily as some of the others.

What you guys got was lucky.
I literally have access to a turbo a week (if not more) from every type of vehicle ever offered from the factory with a turbo. I rarely and I do mean rarely, come across any T3 .60/.63's any more.
I have a pair if GN T3/T4 units on my TT5.0 and a .60/.63 unit on my 2.3T mustang but I didn't come across any of them easliy. That's saying alot when you consider the fact that I probably possess more then 60 turbos per year.

My LS hits crapper at 7200 and with a T25 the thing pulls all the way.

Your serious? T25 doesn't lose any boost on and LS at 7200? Does it hit like 3psi at idle? Those things are small.

damn, you give me a PM the next time you feel like getting rid of some turbo's, I'll give them a happy home.

The T-bird IHI works great with my 8 valve 1.9 Escort, start to make a ton of power at 3000 RPM's and hold's it to about 5.5-6k, that's all my motor is good to anyway's. Makes 212whp and 262 tq.

I found it was easier to find the .60/.63 from a nissan 280z or early 300zx just for a head up. The only pain in the ass part is the wastegate housing. 7bolt not 5. Fine if your running external though

I did not realize they were on those nissans. I know a yard that has a bunch of them sitting around. Likely few are turbo tho.....
