No such thing as too big If im not mistaken its a little bigger than the t78. If you are going to have a stock port motor you will experience a lot of lag. Like 10psi at 4000 rpm. I think the turbo is closer to a T88 size. If you are going to halfbridge the engine, your lag decreases.

So in conclusion, it depends wether you are looking for a really fast car, or a daily driver.

my advice do some research, find out what you want from your car. if you cannot get a compressor map that is for the exact turbine wheel you plan to use, its probably best to avoid it altogether. do not accept that "it is the same as this or that" ask for a compressor map for IT.

^^Ignore this guy. He obviously has no idea what he's looking at. He is WAY WAY off^^


Its a small freakin T04B V-trim turbo with a big turbine housing. These same turbos sell for $189.00 all day on ebay and are Chiniese copies of the Garrett/borg Warner fleet of OEM remans that were once flooding ebay. Its JUNK!!

Do some research here onthe forum, your not going to find too many people willing to spoon feed information anymore when its so readily available by just clicking and typing.

If you look at the ebay listing it claims its a 60-1 compressor wheel ("INDUCER 2.324 / MAJOR 3.00").But as far as I know a 60-1 comp. wheel is a 7/7 paired blade wheel and whats pictured is a 8/8 paired wheel.

The entire freakin add is all botched up. They use a bunch of buzz words and when grouped like they have it make no damn sence. Its a JUNKER. Its rare to find an eBay seller know what the hell their actually selling when it comes to turbo's. Most are Chiniese copies and the seller simply cuts and paste bad info to begin with.

Be careful when browsing Turbo's on ebay. There are may different sellers pushing these turbo's at various prices.
Do more research and save up to buy a reliable Brand name kit from one of the sponsors on the site.

I'm selling a Borg Warner T04B in anyone's interested.
