the turbine housing is quite small. and unless you have a large external gate, you will not be able to flow all the air that you will have to in order to take advantage of the T3/T4 setup

try to find .63A/R

not sure what WD said, but I bet it went something like this.RUN!!Ive read too many stories about Night7 taking people's money and not delivering the product. I think he still owes money/goods to a few people on this forum.

I agree with ftrs13 about the larger 0.63A/RCheck out http://www.cheapturbo.comAnd WD should have some nice turbos for sale in the coming months.

Thats pretty much the jist of what I said. He's still refunding money to clientel who made purchases over 1 year ago. His website was closed last time I looked. Be wary of who you buy parts from.

i just looked at their prices. they want $700+ for a 0.63A/R with internal wastegate. cheapturbos sells brand new one for less than that.keep an eye on ebay. Ive heard of people finding T3/T4's for less than $400.
