t3-t4 turbo ?

[syclonekid43]

a guy i know has a brand new never used t3-t4. will this be good for my stock motor set up? i know nothing about upgrading turbos. i forgot to ask him what trim it is. knowing him. i would say it was going on his GN before he sold it. he also wants 500.00 for it

thats not bad for a turbo, but you still need the adaptor, and DP.

i was thinking af 2 things. for now make my own flange for the turbo.or take my dp out and try to make my own 3". i know i can make the flange with no problems.

what adaptor are you talking about?
and i know im gonna need an external wastegate. which i want to say is gonna go on the crossover pipe. i think my truck had some stuff done to it before i bought it. seeing there was a flange on the crossover. and i never knew what it was for till i found this site

the Garrett T3/T4 doesn't use the same flange as the stock turbo (a Mitsubishi), so you'd need to adapt it for the job.

FWIW, I have a TE44 garrett turbo I'm selling. Great turbo for a stock truck. I also have a PTE housing and PTE downpipe stubbout (would require fabbing up the rest) for it. Its on ebay , but I may be ending the auction as I have some interest in it. I'd let the turbo, PTE housing , and PTE stubbout go for $750 + shipping.

pro0blem is i dont have 750.00 now. i just ordered some stuff from mike lee. in the process of cleaning my stock injectors. i snapped thr shader (sp) vavle off. taking the adaptor for mu guage off. so i had to take the top end apart for the fuel rail. which i figured its all aprt why not go bigger injectors. so as of now i have a afpr,40# inj.,and a walbro 225 on its way. i had no intetions of doing a turbo swap right now,but came across this on. i figured it sounded like a good deal.

Thats cool, I think its probably sold.

If your thinking of changing the turbo, get rid of the stock downpipe. Its nothing but a PITA to deal with. The PTE is so easy to put on, take off if needed.

I'd spend the extra $ and go with a PTE kit. Its a very nice setup.
