that turbo looks a lot like mine and mines makes 230 @ 8psi and feels stong, i did that run with a massive boost leak that has been fixed so am sure it's a little more now.

Garrett Ai Research T345 trimwatercooledI would guess it has 0.42AR compressor and 0.48AR exhaust.

found the info on this page (in the chart 1/2 way down)http://www.dune-buggy.com/turbo/turbo.htm

88 9000T were 2.0L 16V

yeah i found one marking that said .48 a/r on the exhaust side...so seem like thats right .42 and .48....on to my next problem......gettting the broken studs out that i broke when taking them out so i could use and 5 blot DP lol if its not on thing its the other

That turbo's on the small side. I think you would be happier with a T3 from a Z31.And you need a 3bolt DP flange if you're planning to use that internal WG.

yeah i know its a little small it will do till i can get a nice one and build the engine.......i got it for $20 form a friend...and i am not using the wastegate i am going to get exturnal one, so i just took it off and going to get a gasket and use it as a 5 bolt one

$20 = good deal!Dont run too much boost and it should be alright.

Spend some time on NICO. Theres tons of info here. Keep us updated on your progress...

[XcreatureX]
