I am unfamiliar with the rest of your car. is it a d-series motor? what do you want to do with it? do you want to boost over 15 psi?

it will outperform a saab t3 42a/r, but there are brand new super 60 turbos on ebay for $290, guy called down to turbo, I have one, but I want to upgrade to sc61 or something.

thsi one comes with internal wastegate actuator, also can someone confirm that the flange on that turbo is a t3 flange? it looks to be but i want to be positive, no more of that welding the turbo to the manifold crap this setup is gonna be done right

Re:this turbo as good as a T3?

dont bet your money on it. It looks like a T25 flange. If its a true garrett it will have the T25 flange and not the T3 flange. I would ask the seller before buying it. Its a great turbo and would do well with a D-series but make sure it will fit with your manifold.

Again, it looks like a T25 flange, not DSM T25 and not T3.
