TE04H help

[mwinkle353]

considering that's the next smaller turbo compaired to Brent's turbo. I'd say it would do very well.

Thats what i said, ill try to get some pictures if i head over there today.

[Ondonti]

Just Get That Turbo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[3.0ShadowES]

Well i went through all the trouble to get it off, and its done. The shaft is seized and the wheels are all bent out of shape. They told me i could have it for $50 last week and somehow it increasted to $150. SO i said screw it, but i got the factory intercooler which isnt bad for $45. And while i was looking over the car, theres a pretty nice hole in the oil pan, you know what that means....

i forgot to add, since the t-66 wont work out, im gonna go a bit smaller with the T04E, says its good for 350whp and comes with both the exhaust flange and the downpipe flange. So if i use that one and order it friday, ill be able to start working on it by the 25th.

[Ondonti]

um what turbo and where are you getting it?
to4e doesnt mean much except that its supposedly a Garret instead of the micro sized Mitsubishi teo4h

[3.0ShadowES]

The t04e, is an air research turbo, is a t-3/t-4. IDK how it would be but its the cheapest and probably the best i can do for that 3.0, considering i know for a fact the something is gonna go on that stock bottom end with 150k.-im trying to keep the turbo under $200.

heres the ebay page ondonti.

I hope youre not buying one of those in particular. EVERYONE knows that the $150 ebay turbos are all chinese JUNK. Theyre usually GLUED together.

You WILL NOT get a *new* turbo for under $200 that will hold up more than a week.

[3.0ShadowES]

Well i dont want the turbo to be more than the car is worth, in this case the cars worth no more than $300. Only good thing is it has a rebuilt A-543 5spd. Only reason im gonna turbo it.

[bhazard]

Get a used turbo. Trust me, those cheap turbos are junk.

[3.0ShadowES]

Well i better take your advice then, its not worth getting screwed over ebay for one that isnt good.

[bhazard]

Yup, heres a typical review from one of the well known cheapo china turbo sellers...

I dont worry so much about the fake turbos but probably not the best compressor setup for a 3.0 (2.0" inducer 3" exducer).
