Hey guys here is my setup other than the turbo that I am going to be running on my car:

Vortech SFMU (-4 AN stainless fuel lines)
Hahn Manifold
Walbro 255lph fuel pump
Electronic FCD
Some sort of wideband (not sure which yet)
2.5" downpipe
3" cat-back exhaust
Concept Illusions oil line kits
Star FMIC with piping
HKS SSQV BOV

I am thinking about running the Volvo (Garrett/AiResearch) T3 turbo to start off with. The model number is tb0363 and I was going to get one from SpooledMotorsports. Reason for getting a turbo that is smaller than your average one on a 2gnt is because my motor has 115xxx miles on it and I don't want to push TOO much because I don't exactly want to throw a rod through the block if you know what I'm sayin. Anyways, these turbos are internally gated at ~7psi. Does anyone see any problem or have they possibly had any experience with one of these before? Thank you fellas, have a nice day!

I don't understand, are you saying that since it's smaller than the average 2GNT turbo it's going to be easier on the engine? And do you have a particular reason to be worried about throwing a rod (read; something wrong with the engine) or it's just a concern of yours? If you are just going to run low boost, why not get a T25 or something, modify the wastegate to 5psi and let it spool quick. How much is this turbo going to cost, a rebuilt T25 is about $250

(I think I'm the only member )

$200 shipped. I would consider running something like a t25 except I have a hahn manifold (t3 flange). Anyone have any experience with the tb0363? Is it different than other garrett t3 turbos? Looking at pictures it doesn't appear to be different from a regular one but I'm not positive.

'95 GSX - New motor/turbo going in...
'95 TSi AWD - For sale...buy me!
'03.5 MazdaSpeed Protege - Stock daily driver
'97 CBR 600 - Purple is a real man's color

That is good advice... Boost it as high as it can go when you're ready to put the new block in

also go with 6an lines . you will regret it in the future . even with 30lb injectors ,fp will only drop to around 28psi .

LED tails : Done for now!

I already have the -4AN lines and they are pretty much completely installed that this point. I just followed that diagram for the SFMU in the mods section. So you guys are suggesting get the turbo that I want and do the spring mod on the wastegate so that I am running 4-5psi? Sounds like a good idea.
