#96464, "Which T3 turbo would you guys recommend?"




          

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?

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?
