Not ebay, its sold localy still in the original box, has all the apropriate marking to be a real garrett and is new.

Thanks for the reply, and any idea on how much power from 15 psi?

I am looking for quick spool and about 350 WHP. I have a 13b RE currently on stock twins, with a haltech E8. walbro pump, 1680 secondairies, big intercooler. It makes 260 WHP on a very conservative tune at 11 PSI.

I have so far collected a good BOV and wastegate, and am looking for the remaining parts I need to go single on a low budget. I will most likley use one of those cheap manifolds ceramic coated by a local shop.

Is this turbo too small for my goals?

Did'nt post fast enough lol /\



NO. XS Power is not the same as MasterPower. MasterPower is a decent turbo.
Pony up a couple of hundred more for a Turbonetics 60-1 or 62-1 (Ebay for $750 New) or go with something similar.

I have a Borg Warner T04b that's almost new I'm going to sell if you insist on that size of turbo. $275 shipped if you're interested. PM me.

You need to reSEARCH and figure out your power goals, how the car will be used (weekend drag car, daily street car, high speed track car etc) to determine what turbo system works best for you. THEN, you need to realise the supporting mods for it (exhaust, intercooler, intercooler piping, fuel upgrades such as injectors, pumps, regulators, then engine management ETC ETC ETC ETC. Simply plucking links online and asking for power figures will get your no were, or at best end you up with either a none usable turbo for your car, or something that does not respond how it should for your driving style and or requirments. The turbo you just linked is worthless on a rotary it is near the same spec turbo as you posted originally. It has a T3 turbine wheel and turbine housing, you need a T4 turbine. And before someone chims in and says "gt35r and or Rx6 is a T3" is wrong. They have a T3 bolt pattern/flange, but the turbine wheels are T4 sized so save your ignorant comments.

Search, theres a-ga-zillion threads on what turbo is good for what power at X psi and how it responds. Theres tons of info on this and other rotary related forums. Theres many here who will help (such as me), but having to explain an entire build and holding ones hand gets redundant and agrovating when all you need to do is a little research for yourself. Sorry to come accross as an ***, but you have a lot to research. At least list your goals and pick a few turbos out that are at least usable on a rotary engine. Then you might get better info as to help you make a final decision that you'll be satisfied with and a better understanding of your car.

Off the soap box for now...............

I am turbo ignorant. And there is lots of contradicing info on all the forums.

Thats because A) different people believe different things, and B) this is the internet, so many people just repeat what someone else has said as if they are talking from personal experience, which most people don't have, and if they do its very limited.
