Try this site: http://www.boostplanet.com/

There not used, but most of the turbos have a lifetime of free rebuilds.

There are t3/t4 options under the mitsubishi turbos, at the bottom of the page.

I've been thinking about trying his "High Flow" RB25 turbo.

Has anybody sent their turbo to him to put bigger wheels in it? Or do you know anybody that has?

anyone know what sort of power this would make?



seems as though it would be a great temporary upgrade until i get all the supporting mods for a GT turbo.

I've always considered buying from these guys because they have good prices.. Supposedly they rebuild their turbos with garrett internals.

What do you guys think about them? I've read all their ebay feedback and they seem to be pretty good people to deal with.. I'll probably be buying a turbo from them soon.

Great article! Thanks, I've looking for information like that for some time.

I've been emailing this guy back and forth asking questions about the upgraded RB25 turbo. He actually sells 3 different stages of upgrade for this turbo.Stage 2 and 3 use a completely different compressor housing so you don't lose the compressor efficiency like the article describes. He does, however, bore out the turbine side. The article says this isn't as bad, but still not the best practice. He didn't talk about cliping the turbine, and I doubt he does cuz he's putting a whole new turbine wheel in it.He says higher stage turbo has more lag, but also more power. But he won't commit to saying how much power its capable of.
