After hours of reading on skylines australia and seeing bi-polar results from 200whp - 250whp than jumps to over 380 - 400whp. I would really like to be in the middle of this which would allow me to run r33 injectors and an n60 maf. Would a 50 trim t3/to4e with a .63ar be too laggy for these goals. Brand new the turbo is only $600.00. But it requires an external gate, and custom elbow/dp which then needs a new manifold.

Is there a bolt on t3 turbo with internal gate available which can use our dp/elbow kits for under 1k? I would prefer non ball bearing.

I have a T04-S (60-1) that I pulled off this year to go bigger. Its a T3 flanged turbo w/ internal wastegate. No shaft play, but some mileage on it, not sure how much. Make me a reasonable offer and its yours.

How much does he charge in comparison to Forced Performance? They are working on quoting me on a custom unit sort of like the fpbig28 but made from our t3/t28's(rb20det).

I would have no idea, that's something you would need to discuss with Charlie. I have never bothered to go anywhere else, so I have no idea on quality or prices of others work. I do know that in the 20 years I have known and used Evergreen turbo he has built turbos for some of the fastest track only and street driven Porsches in the country as well as doing custom work for race teams in S.Africa on bluebird based units and various other Nissans. He personally owns (well his son) an SVO that is street driven daily that makes 380hp out of a 2.3L 4cyl. He does alot with Holset, IHI, KKK, Garret, any turbo maufacturer available. He does not do ball bearing stuff in house. Call him up he's got a toll free #. He has NEVER disapointed me and I have had nothing but turbo cars since 1989 (except my wifes stuff)
