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? -------------------- |
