Default What turbo should I use?

Stock z6 is the pig. I have 2 turbos, a 42/63 and a 60/48. I will either use the 60/48 or make a 60/63 and then sell the remaining one. I feel like no one will buy a 42/63 turbo though, so itd be to my benefit likely to sell a 42/48 instead. What dew jew think?

60/63 and selling the 42/48 (if it even works like that... I've never worked with a T3 just dsms) sounds like a decent plan.

should work i just have to switch the compressor fans and housings. My problem w/that is the turbine wheel nut is all sorts of weird shapes and I can't really get a good enough grip on it to get the compressor nut off :1

Ok I got to say this is a bad idea! First it sounds like you are not going to be balancing anything; big no no. Second I bet you are going the wrong way to take it off. On turbos it is left to make it tight, right to lose it up. Just leave it the way it is and just run the turbo.



BTW The balancing will kill both turbos in less then 3 blocks, trust me on this one

I've heard mixed feelings about the balancing. Some have said its no big deal and that they have had no problems, and others such as yourself say the opposite
