My T3 vs. my T4!! Question and Pics

Holy crap, that is the WORST exhuast collector setup I've ever seen.

Tell me about it, i almost blew chunks when i saw it.

When i took a ride on that car, it was running at 12psi if i remember correctly....it made full boost around 4,500rpms, pretty much like TCD stated. For being an ETA i was quite surprised at how it performed with a big ass turbo like that, it could perform way better with a better combination of turbine.

I'll ask tommorow my friend what are the specs on his turbo.

What was his redline if he wasn't making full boost until 4,500 in an eta? That is quite pointless.

Alex (Skat325is) what combo are you runing inthe back? What A/R and wheel diameter?

and when you see full boost in your setup? 3500?

[skat 325is]

.58 P-trim
3" downpipe and exhaust

yes i see full boost about 3,500rpms

Ok guys, I got a deal, I'm getting a used, fresh reapired Turbonetics , the compressor/hosuing is almost teh same size as the T4 that I showed, a bit larger and has 7 vaines instead of 8, then the back is larger than my current t3/.48A/R wich has a wheel very small (will give the messures tomorrow) and the rear will be a.60 or something like that , Turbonetics too.

Like we all know, Turbonetics doesn't show the sizes, so it looks like it has both, from a T3 and T4 sizes, altough, this Turbonectis spinf a lot faster and easily than my big T4 and the used with oil still conteined, T3/T4, alot faster and is less havier than both, the blades or vaines are thinner also, than any Garret turbo....


I leaved my old T3/T4 plus some money and I'm keeping the T4 for whhile, we will see if can sell it expensive to someone....to recover some money spended on the Turbonetics.

Pics of the new Turbo comming soon along with the IC mounted in the front
