Hey guys, Long story short i came out with the short end of the stick by getting a greddy/trust t78 33d second hand but mint conditin instead of a brand new garret gt3540...

Now What i want to know is how would this go on a ca18det (heavily modified poncams, yadda yadda yadda) I know everyones engine is different but i need to know wether im going to get much boost by 5,500rpm.

And does anyone know anyone running one of these on their highly modded ca18det?

Thanks.

It may just start waking up at or around that rpm. An engine I'm building will be seeing a simlar turbo, but this engine is heavily modded and will not be used on the street. Unless the engine is totally prepared and you're prepared for the harsh reality that this thing will be no good for street use, I'd be looking for a new snail.

looking for 700hp? What's the exhaust housing size? It's the number stamped inside the back side's inlet.
