Hi, noobie here. I just have a quick question regarding a turbo that someone local is selling. It's a t3/t04e .50trim .48 a/r garrett turbo, how much power will I see from this turbo and will it fit the stock Rb25 turbo manifold?

BTW: goal is around 350whp

Should bolt right up but, you might need a spacer between the turbo and manifold. It will get you to 350hp but you'll need supporting mods.

Screw the T3/04 you can buy the internal gated GT3571R and it bolts right up. Only mod that need to be done is to the manifold just slightly needs to be ground down.

Did this turbo bolt up to the same downpipe? Or did you have to have one custom made?

Holy Huge pics Batman!

Yeah screw the T3/T04, cuz an internally gated GT3571R is probably the same price as that turbo you asked about and you need it to make 350whp

Give me a break blown240, not everyone can afford or wants to have everything your buddy has on his RB.

If the turbo is a good buy it should do you fine for what you want. Running a spacer flange is no big deal.

This is totally turned away from any of the other members but BigPar blow it out of your *** dude. Also those pictures arnt that big unless your running 640x400 screen res...

I just listed a suggestion because anyone who gets more power will eventually want even more so cut out the bull in between and save money in the long haul.

Also to reply to a question above no we couldnt use the factory J pipe since the outlet was much larger.
