Hello all, About 6 months ago I had a turbo 'custom made' for my S13 SR. All I know about this freakin' thing is that it's a GT30BB center section with a T04B compressor housing with a 7 blade compressor. Now, it was supposed to be top of the line, and big spool with 450hp capability, BUT, it is the worst freakin' thing ever. Spools likea freakin' T67 and makes about as much power as an S15 turbo once it 'spools'. Not to mention the fact that it WILL NOT produce more than about 18psi of boost. I've wired the wastegate SHUT and it won't make more than 18-20psi. No boost leaks, no exhaust leaks, a SS exhaust manifold going into a .86 A/R turbine housing WITH a greddy O2 housing into 3" exhaust. argghh... ANYWAY, the point is; what to do with it? Since the center section is definitely good, can I just send it to someone and have them throw some different wheels and housings on it and be done? I was thinking something 'like' a GT3037S would be nice, but don't want to pay another $2000 for one. So does anyone have any ideas who I can send this to, and if they can do something with it? And perhaps how much it would cost just for a couple wheels, housings, and a balance? Cause right now, it's just an expensive paperweight. Thanks in advance for any help.
