Well ever since I started building my custom kit I have had my heart set on a Garrett Super 60 T3 turbo, but now there is a guy here in Cincinnati selling his Garrett T3 .42/.48AR turbo. I will be running around 6-7psi for a while until I have the money to build the motor. He is selling his turbo for $190 with no shaft play or boost leaks (according to him) and I can't find a super 60 anywhere for under $350, what do you guys think? Will I notice a huge difference in the two?

Thats a fair price I guess, however I was using the 60-1 trim Turbonetics turbo since spring started and I loved it, but I just upgraded.

Yes it would be nice to have the Super 60 but the at only 6-7psi am I really going to notice a difference between the 60 and the other turbo?

At higher RPM, yes.

Correct the Super 60 would have more power at higher RPMs but wouldn't the other turbo spool quicker or would that not be noticeable?

Basically what I am asking is would it be WELL worth it to spend the extra $200 on the Super 60?

YES!

Sounds good to me! haha thanks for the advice!

a craigs list here in hawaii this a good deal $589



Used Standard Nissan Skyline GTR R33 T28 Twin TURBO set + Internal actuator wastegate. Used, off from GTR BNR33 R33 Skyline, T3 Flange. Come with internal acturator, turbo have used about 18k miles on them, Turbos are In good working condition, no shaft play, No Oil Leak, No white Smoke

keep one and sell one or save as a back up would this work. and is that a good price.

...have fun with that lol

No thanks on the skyline turbo, I'm going to be running a T3 of some sort, thanks for the info though.

so not a good idea I am very much a rookie with turbo stuff just looked like a good deal.
