Well I found out what the turbo I have is, its a T3 off a 85-90 SAAB 900(0)??

It is a GARRETT T3 with A/R on the turbo 42 and a A/R on the wastegate is 48.

I talked to a guy that said its only good upto 7PSI, well I was wondering if I could take it more like say between 10-12?

Also could I make a low 13s 1/4 mile car w/ this turbo(of course other mods :) )

And will factory Cast pistons support??

Thanks :help :help

thats a rather small turbo. I would save up some money and get a more desireably sized turbo for the KA.Tyler
