GARRETT AIRESEARCH T3 TURBO with polished housing. This turbo is set up to be used with an external waste gate. The turbo is off a 89 SAAB.

Turbo will push 15-20 PSI
The a/r is .42 on the COOL side and .63 on the HOT side
Turbo spins freely. The fins do not touch the side walls, and has little to no "side to side" - "in and out" play!
Will make boost at mid RPM range to redline

I got it for $150. Thanks
