Spool isn't really dependent upon the compressor side so much. But airflow at a given boost pressure is. The T3 60 won't make the top end, or boost levels the Super 60 will, but actually puts out more air at lower pressures. With a T3, which is a bit overkill for your project, it provides the optimal airflow at lower pressures, such as the 10-12 psi needed to make 200 hp with a T3. The turbine side controls the spool. You'll be wanting a Stage1 T3, or a new F1 wheel in a small size. Combine with that a very low A/R factor, such a .48 or smaller, and the spool gets to be rather decent with the T3. For a slightly better midrange, the T04E 57 trim compressor side provides optimal airflow at the lower pressures, and with a modest goal of 200 hp, would not have surge issues on the 1.5 with a very small exhaust side, such as the T3 Stage 1 .48 A/R listed above.

Ebay Turbo
46 Trim T04E.
Exhaust side is smaller than a Stage 1. Very small in fact. About 56 mm. .63 A/R 5-bolt.
It's good for about 10 psi. Anything over that could create a surge problem. (Probably could push that a psi or two, but the exhaust side is very small, and will spool well, but not flow great because of it. For the range you're looking, it's a good, cheap choice. There's 4 different suppliers that carry these, and you can get the turbo seperate from any of them for less than $200.

I don't necessarily like Ebay turbo's, but only pushing about 10 psi....and looking to do it on a serious budget....might be a decent option.

Im really considering that one.

You get what you pay for...

Even if it only lasts a year it better than nothing,id rather get one locally though.

Problem local is finding someone with a turbo designed to spool quickly.

smh.....thats why they make freaking 5 bolt plates that cover over the damn hole and weld ya down to it...and i vote garrett t3 super 60 also.

black6gen

Once again anotheR vote for the Super60!!!!!!!!! Im tellin u bro don't cheap out when it comes to a turbo set up. I know u might be tired of hereing this but i can't even coun't all the advice that i should have followed when it came to my set up.

I blew off the whole "DON'T CHEAP OUT" coment for a good while but then I listened and it was worth it.

Just save the cash u have and any extra that u might come across and find something good localy used. YOU WILL SAVE MONEY,WRENCH TIME AND HEARTACHE!!!!!!!!!!!
