wtf??? do you understand how small this turbo is? unless you're planning on running these as twins you can't use it. if you want something cheap just go out and get a big diesel turbo.

the hot side A/R is fine, the compressor is too small. which means the wheel is two small.

you could buy it, then buy a wheel and compressor and have it balanced...but then you have a 2.75 downpipe to make...BOOO!

by the time that turbo is up to par, you've spent almost as much as a new one.

HOT: 1.15 A/R or bigger with a p-trim wheel or greater, with at least a 3" outlet.
Compressor: 62-1 wheel or equiv. with at least .70 A/R housing, 4" inlet.

Why not just get a T61? Those can be had for $670 TO4B is just way too small. BTW, if you're looking for top end, might as well go with a Q-trim wheel
