Cartech manifold/wastegate

Do any members here use these pieces or kit? I just picked up a 86gxl, and am planning a turbo swap. My cousin offered to sell me his old 88t2 swap with a blown motor w/a good tranny, and it had a cartech manifold turbo and wastegate on it. I have a pt61 that im going to use for my kit. just wondering if the pieces would hold up to the abuse. oh yea and would anyone know what size that turbo is with the cartech? it looks like a little t04b but i couldnt tell from the quick look i got. possibly it was a to4e but the compressor looked a bit small and had a 3" compressor inlet.

I used to have a cast Cartech turbo manifold - VERY heavy duty cast iron, really well made. It actually located the turbo at more of a "stock" position instead of up and forward like the HKS manifold does. Flow-wise, I don't know how it fares up, but it's well built, well designed, and VERY sturdy, which is quite worthwhile. I believe the manifold worked with pretty much any T04 turbo.

I had a Cartech wastegate as well - it's just a wastegate, really, it uses the Deltagate flange style. Never got to use it, but it was well built and designed.
