Rebuild it if you like the setup.

I'll have a T3 for sale in Jan if your interested, cracking unit with 360 bearing, 4x4 compressor spot on. Only selling as i'm going to a T34 unit with larger injectors.

Jason, T34.48 is a great option if you fancy a change, has all the punch of the T3 but with abit more power..

The T34.48 is by far the best option as the T3 although a cracking turbo which comes on boost nice and early is always destined for the knackers yard when running close to stage 3 power, where as the T34.48 will still come on boost nice and early thanks to the .48 but be able to provide a bit more boost reliably and for longer before dropping off.
