I used the non-BB version of it for over 11k miles(it's now for sale). It has almost exactly the same exterior demensions as a T-66 but, spooled a little quicker than my current T-66.

It is almost the same thing as a T04S. In fact, the T04S is a copy of the T04S04 except, that the T04S has a 4" inlet vs the T04S04 3" inlet.

I have a GReddy undivided manifold. I think the turbo cost about $1k.

What kind of power are you making with that turbo, where did you get that manifold? is it similar to the HKS manifold.

What major mods do you have.

With me tuning, I got 359 rwhp at 16 psi.

The manifold is the one that comes with the GReddy turbo upgrade kit. This one hugs the engine quite nicely unlike the HKS that almost and sometimes does make the compressor hit the frame rail. I don't know if you can buy the manifold separately from the kit.

Here's my mods list(175k image):
