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.

Wow that's great to know that we have board member's like you that will rip off people to make a buck. I do hope that your advice was just a joke.

GraySilvia...my advice to you is to go back to the person/company that custom built you this turbo and ask them WTF! They obviously made false claims about this custom turbo that they built for you. I don't know about you but I'm not the type of person to just throw money away like that and not get anything out of it.

Sounds to me like you just got too big a turbo for your motor. I don't think your pushing enough exhaust through the thing to make it spool any higher. Oh and BTW T04B compressor is a total pile of ****. I'd stick a nice T04S compressor on it and maybe step down to a .64AR turbine housing and see what that would do for you.

quiksilvia...wow immaturity and stupidity must have plagued your family for years. Grow up...name calling isn't necessary but if you want to play that game we can. Now go pick up your douche from the drug store.

Yes, but will a T04S fit bottom mount in the stock location?

quiksilvia I never implied that you were a woman with a dirty vagina. What I was implieing is that you need to go douche your anus (now you get it huh?). Don't forget the tampons, you seem to be really tempermental, oh almost forgot f*** don't have real menstrual cycles, well you could always still use the tampons for your drippage problem.

Try having having a better day. And seriously grow up.
