Yo Guys,

I'm about to buy a second hand Garrett T4 turbo, it's just temporary before buying the "real" turbo for my setup.

So i need some advice on what kind of turbo this is and how the car is going to handle with this turbo if i decide to buy. It's going to be mounted on a Stock 13b REW. (Building new engine with streetport).

Specs: (Told by owner)
Garrett T4

Hotside 1.15 a/r
Cold side 0.50 a/r

Not looking for mayor power right now, maybe just 300whp. It's just for fine tuning the total setup later on.

Is it Upgradable with a larger housing?

Only picture i have right now.



Thnx

 

that thing looks like poop!

 

Wauw that's helping me....?? Nice...

It can be cleaned, no big deal.

Besides the looks, anyone else any words??

 

Yea, it looks like poop. Don't use it. Look at the compressor wheel, it looks like there was some foreign object damage.

 

I've talked to the seller and he said the wheel was just corroded, fins are not bent and shaft spins freely, no shaft play.

I see what you mean by seeing the picture, the 2 upper fins look little different, is that what you mean??

I can get it for just 50 bucks so i'm willing to try. Just don't know what to expect performance wize. I'll have it cleaned it up and inspected, but only if i can use this Turbo for my setup for a while.

Thnx for the heads up anyway.

 

Aluminum compressor wheels do not corrode. There was foreign object damage, do NOT use that turbo. Do you really want pieces of aluminum flying into your intake charge and blowing your motor? I wouldn't...

 

That turbo is garbage, and will most likely lead to the destruction of your nice new engine.

These things spin at 150,000+ rpm, take a *real* close look at that compressor wheel.

That turbo belongs in the junkyard.

 

Great point there Carbon.

Okay guys thnx alot you've convinced me. I won;t risk it and see if i can find another one or buy new one right from the start.
