Default After some T4 prices, anyone have a list of Turbo suppliers?

Ok need to get some prices for my new turbo, and struggling to get much feedback from what I can find so far.

-Called CR Turbos, got a price...BOOM good service and will think about it
-Trader 1 no anwser
-Trader 2 only T3's in stock
-TurboTechnics "do you have a part number?" me, "No, just use RS500 cosworth as the model", them "is it RWD or 4x4 cosworth" then after all that it's exchange only.
Essex turbos dont list it

Who else can i try???

Why a T4?
There are much more modern and efficient turbos available - and some are lower priced than the old T4 series.

It's a big turbo so i would be more interested in what i could rev too as you get most of the power out of these at the other end - this is where a proper spec'd motor really works

Short term the STD one as its only done about 5k miles and I already have a spare one, but yes long term I will obviously have to get a better one up to the job. I'm a fix it when it breaks kinda guy.

I certainly am not talking about the cheap Chinese copies.
I am not that stupid.

The T4 turbo is a relatively reliable turbo - but a very old design, but as I said there are far more efficient Modern and much more reliable turbos available.

Just my opinion of course.
