60/a/r compressor is too small for rotary to make good power. Need a 70/ar. And 82 transam for the price its going to cost you to make the turbo you want u should have just bought the right one in the first place.

On another note....who has purchased from cheapturbos.com ? Expereinces? Quality?

I bought a 60-1, .70 compressor, 1.0 divided turbine for $650 from TialSport. I paid another $80 or so for the v-band flange. Picked up a 46mm wastegate too. He was pretty easy to deal with.

Yea...i want to know about this cheapturbo.com website. Anyone dealt with them? It seems like one of those " too good to be true" Deals. But if they are legit...they have some good prices.

ATP turbo's is cheaper than that place, I don't mean what 3rd gen owners call cheap. I mean the 1st and 2nd gen owner cheap, the real tight asses.

www.tialsport.com

The website isn't much to look at, but when you figure out what you want, just shoot them an email with the particulars. He told me he's got a buddy over at Garrett so they'll build whatever you want.

I've bought my T04s from cheapturbo. The service was excellent and the turbo is awsome. Although the price said $720 or whatever, it actually cost a bit more. Once you water cool it, have him weld on the v-band and stuff, it goes up. I would recommend the place hands down. They are really good people (or person) I think it's a one man operation. Give them a call and talk to him, he like's 7's.

I chose the .96a/r hot and .70 cold. No, there is no smoke (mind you I only have 1300miles on the engine and turbo). If you ask me it's the perfect turbo, for me atleast. The quality is there. If I were to buy another turbo it would be from there. Hope that helps a bit.

Bi-State Customs can beat those prices.
