here's a quote from a turbo I'm thinking of buying for my LS turbo setup. I want a higher RPM spool than a smaller turbo would give. does anyone use anything this size or is it a bad idea? what is a good big size if not this? thanx.

"Garrett T04B oil-cooled turbocharger. The a/r on the exhaust side is 1.15 and on the compressor side is .60. The Inlet on the compressor side is 3 inch and the outlet is 2 inch. The exhaust inlet is tang divided for fast spooling and has the standard T4 flange as seen on most aftermarket turbo manifolds. The compressor wheel is a T trim and the exhaust wheel is a P-trim. The shaft spins freely and has no play. As you can see in the pics the turbo is in very nice condition. This turbo will produce over 400hp. "

 

go t3/t04
B or E, .60 or more.

 

You found that on EBAY didn't you. I was looking at that too, but WAY to big for my app.

 

yeah thats an ebay item

 

That is WAY huge...looks like it came off a diesel truck...you be almost be at the rev limiter before you started to spool that sucker...

 

yeah I decided to go with a nice sized T3 w/rev hard mani. external wastegate, etc... got a good deal on it, so i wont complain if it spools a little soon
