ssautochrome T3/T4 turbo
I just bought an t3/t4 turbo from ssautochrome for $225 shipped. It's .42 compressor and .48 turbine, have any of you guys had trouble with these turbos? After I purchased the turbo it was giving me worries that it might be too small. If you have experience with these turbos let me know, it will be glady appreciated

I R SAD PANDA W/O BAW
Other than it being too small how is the quality? Most people say to stay away from ssautochrome aka stoneracing aka obx. Did you also get the SS manifold as well? My buddy got one for his sr20 and it wouldnt even seal properly because of crappy machining.

I just got it off ebay, no manifold either. I'll just sell it to one of the honda ricers at taco bell, their parents will be paying for it neway.

When sizing a turbo for an FC aren't you supposed to look for 2.6 to 3.9L sized turbos?

Anything that causes the motor to have more power (away from turbo) will cause it to spool quicker.
However, raising compression also raises the need for propper tuning and fuel-spark delivery.
