when i was looking, he suggested making up a T38 with a housing from this and machined out comp housing, bigger wheel and what not with 360 bearing for £550.
that's what he does, makes turbos and rebuilds, very helpful even though i didn't buy one from him.
the GT3071r on my setup is an animal, only running pansy power though at the moment (20psi) as i've swung cams to make better power down low and traction is an issue in wet weather.
i've had it at 1.8BAR and that is really pulling hard then.
a T38 will pull well, just a little laggier.
Cheers mate.
I've contacted Wilky, will see what he says.
I'm still waiting to see what the exact specs of that T04b are, but I'm not sure it will make the power I want. What do they typically make?

If not and if I can't get a T38 for pikey power. I will have to cough up for a GT3071. There's n doubt its a great turbo... just blows a bit of a hole in the budget
