Tomorrow I'm going to pick a Garrett T3 T4 57trim from a friend. He said there's only 3,000 miles on it no shaft play. He said he will sell it to me for 300. Does that sound like a good deal or should I hold off. Right now I have a 16g. Would it be a good upgrade or should I save up more and buy something bigger. Its on a turbo gsr right now

its better than a 16G but do you need a manifold and o2 housing and Downpipe to bolt it in. maybe a external waistgate too

I knew I had to get the manifold and external waste gate and o2 housing. I have a downpipe already. Will it bolt up to the downpipe. Also what kind of power can I get out of that

well its definetly a huge upgrade. But one thing to find out also is what is the a/r of that turbo because just saying its a 57 trim doesnt tell you. And for hp i think those can go up to around 500hp

I'll find the a/r on the turbo now. How much does a turbo like that usually run for

That sounds good.. What supporting mods are you running already with your 16g?

Thats good. The only thing with this turbo is expect alot more lag with it

I have a walboro 255 fuel pump, evo 8 intercooler, intake 3" turbo back exhaust and safc-II. I'm just gonna buy the turbo and put to the side and save and buy more parts. I'm just buying it since I think its a really good deal

And you have a good start to supporting it.. You would need a engine rebuild though, to push high boost with that
. But its something to work toward ;)

That's what I wanna do. I was thinking about doing a 6 bolt swap but since my motor is in awesome condition there's really no point.
