I need a 500 hp turbo for my Volvo, nothing special, no internal WG, no BB.

T3 flange and at least 360 bearings are my demands, around A/R .60 to .80 is a wish.

Any ideas? Want a good brand but also a nice price, no ebay crap.Is there any turbo dealers here on Nico?

Mike, what displacement is your volvo? The turbo I'm using on Overboosted180s car is a T3 based 60-1 and that will support just over 500hp. It's a bit big for a 1809cc engine, but that is my goal with his car in the near future. Just need to put a few more miles on the engine and give it one last street tune.

I have a very good turbo builder that I deal with and he's awesome with pricing. Venture around NICO's vendor section first and see what you can see. I have to be fair and give the vendors the 1st opportunity to earn your business. You know how to find me...............

Haha, good. It´s a 2.5 litre, I´ve used the T3/T4 Turbonetics A/R 0.63 before and really like them but want to try something new. Many US guys talk about Precision but never used it.

It´s a bit big for 1.8 but on the other hand, you might need it. High revs want big turbos.

It´s my daily. The engine is broken in, need bigger turbo and boost now.

Guys, I checked our Vendors but they got very Nissan specific turbo´s, T2 flange and stuff.I´m pretty sure they will understand if you sell a turbo to me or give me advices.

I´ll try one more time, any ideas at all?

You don´t need to sell a turbo but some advices would make this dude happy!Ever used the Precision turbo´s? Or maybe non BB Garrett?

Just want to find the best money/performance T3 without buying e-bay brands.

Haha, this is cool. That turbo is a Garrett GT40 turbo used in Scania trucks. I already got one here and I´ll use it if I can´t find a smaller option. It´s huge!

I got problems to fit it without cutting off pieces, it got a T4 flange and I want T3.

Precision SC61 found on more than a few 2-2.4L 500hp street cars. I've often heard of it referred to as the "poor mans GT35", hence its popularity. Certainly gets the job done

Bought a new snail today. If Precision is poor mans GT35 I bought the poor mans Precision... A Holset HX50.

Wish me luck!
