If you're looking at new turbos that are less than $650 or so, they are Chinese knock offs. Knock offs don't use the same specs as the real turbos (even if they say they are the same 50 trim or same a/r).

That turbo's not too bad. It's a bit large and is limited to around 25psi...it's a good price and the right 5 bolt exhaust housing though.

So lets say I was to buy the turbo from you or the site you mentioned. What kind of mods would i have to do to run the turbo? Header, injectors, or anything?

Assuming you currently have an IHI turbo, you'll need an aftermarket downpipe, stock or 3" turbo down elbow, T3 oil return line, and to block off the coolant lines for the IHI turbo.
Whether you'd need injectors and a way to tune with them would depend on how much power you make. When you exceed the stock stuff, you need to upgrade, or turn down the boost and live with the stock stuff.

When you said that the turbo i posted a while back was a bit large. What do you mean exactly? Just not enough exhaust to push the turbo correctly or?? I found this turbo and I'm really tempted to purchase it. dallas.craigslist.org/dal/pts/4424704025.htmlIt is a .63 a/r stage 3 with a t3 flange. With the standard 5 bolt exhaust. |

Looks like a good price.
Too large means exactly what it sounds like. Turbos are sized to the airflow potential of the engine. In the same way V8's run turbos that are 62mm to over 100mm depending on their airflow capabilities (engine size, head flow, rpm, cam selection, etc.), smaller engines run smaller turbos depending on the same mods as listed above. Way too large can result in never building boost before you reach redline, just a little too large would result in delayed boost response (doesn't build boost until 4k rpm for example) and therefore a huge decrease in torque.

Ok I still have my Holset HX35 for my car. But I also have a cheap turbo I had bought a while back. It has the split exhaust housing. Is that good or bad for these engines? I assume if I had the right header for 2 cylinders to go in one side and 2 in the other it would be more efficient with the split exhaust? But with your header would it be bad?

A dual scroll turbo is of no benefit without a split scroll header. With a split scroll header, it will spool quite a bit sooner. It doesn't hurt anything to run a dual scroll turbo on an open scroll header though.

Ok thanks for the quick reply. I am still having trouble getting the hot side of the Holset off so I'll just put the cheap one on for a few miles till I get it off because one shop told me $270 just to reclock the turbo!
