quick question...
do you guys think a t3/t4 w/ t04e 46trim and t3 .48a/r is an ok size for a 5sfe? planning for 200whp+ seems like it's about the same as a ct27? i want a new turbo but the ct27 is kinda pricey... do you think if i go the t3/t4 route i can save a couple hundred? -------------------- |

t3/t4 will need a manifold adapter (if 3s manifold is used) or a custom mani. so theres an added expense. I don't know the whole list for it to be completed but the best way to compare is to get real time prices and list both setups. (ct27 vs. t3/t4)
and yes that will be a good turbo you have a 2.2L to spool it and its bigger so less psi(safer) and more CFMs (more power). good luck and RESEARCH! -------------------- 94' ST Coupe - 5sfe Motor swap and brake swap.

brake lines are the wrong kind of rubber, they will swell and the inner size well shrink down. just get some high PSI fuel line, it'll standup to the oil fine.
