Okay, so I'm planning on buying a t3/t04e for my SOHC build, and i'm planning on purchasing it from http://www.westcoast-turbo.com

I want the turbo to be much like this guy's http://www.ka-t.org/duron.htm

Anyone know what trim is he running? Is it a .50 trim on the compressor wheel? From what i gathered he has a .50 A/R compressor housing, and a .63 A/R Turbine housing and the stage 3 wheel. Another question I had is whether to get the turbonetics or the garrett? Westcoast offers both and the only difference appears to be the bolt pattern on the downpipe flange.

Westcoast-turbo is somewhat discouraging right now also. On their main page they say that they are currently down for updates and expect to be up March 15th, this has been like this for months obviously, I emailed them and they never responded....but i have heard good things about this company? Anyways thanks for the replies guys.

I ordered my T3/T04E from AGP turbo.

http://www.agpturbo.com

They're FANTASTIC. Here are the specs I use, which you can choose on the site.

T3/T04ECompressor: .50 trim, .60A/RTurbine: .76 trim T-31 (stg 3), .63A/R

Visit their site. They're excellent guys. We had a little billing mixup and they came through ASAP and even absorbed some shipping to get the turbo to me in time for my project deadline. EXCELLENT service.

Full race has garrett t-series on sale at the moment. The t3/t04e is $619. Only one dollar cheaper..but then you can tell everyone you have a full race turbo.

Edit: I totally forgot I've got a newly rebuild garrett t3/t04e 57 trim turbo that I'm wanting to get rid of. 0 miles on it. Email me if you're interested.

and $619 for every other trim, if the housings are standard and a stage 3 wheel is used. I was just pointing out if he was interested in any other sizes.
