It means that the promiced 1.5Bar (21-22psi) with greens, chip and -31 is not correct?

It can be set up to 22psi, my original 2wd T3 was, just that with the standard bearing life would be reduced, but by how much is subjective, as it depends how the car is driven, I just opted for a 360deg bearing to be fitted before I get it checked over after the engine build,

I blew 2 T3 turbo's @ 1.5 bar in a matter of weeks on my Cossie, in the end it worked out cheaper to get a T34 in the long run.

T34 way better, just get 360 and step gap seal at same time.
The turbocentre 01924 404112, ask for ANDY or CRAIG.

Kindly thank you for the answer. Please, describe me what is the "gap seal"? It's the part from rebuild kit when installing 360 bearings?

Unfortunately is not so easy to call the Turbocenter from Russia.

I try to talk with our turbo-rebuilders, but all of them prefer the modern GT ball bearings turbos and don't like to work with old T-series.
But for installing the GT2871R or GT3071RWG needed too much modifications...

Or I'll try to write to Andy and Craig to sail me the ready to use cartrige or another needed parts...

Does anybody knows the parameters of T34? (A/R, trim, wheels of cold and hot parts)? Can't find this nowhere...
