Default T3 or T34??
Over the next 2 month I'll be saving up for a new turbocharger for my standard Sapphire Cosworth 4x4,

My question is......Is it worth me paying extra for a T34?

or will it drive shite being standard

OR (forgot to add) would a hybrid T3 be better, with cut back blades and 360 in there?

T34/48 stg 2 from CR turbos

Will be perfect if it was stg 3

360 bearing on a std will be fine for what u want

t34 48 housing std wheel 360 bearing would be best
which is in effect a std t3 with an escort cossie compressor end
the expensive part is the t34 comp snail

Mike,

I'd got for a TT Stage 2 T3 and have the NMS Gunship live map done, i had this on my 3dr and it was cracking, made 319bhp BUT 354ft/lb. The mid-range Karl gets out if this setup is superb....

I have given you the correct advice
don't use a a std t3 compressor use the t34
the t3 4x4 60 trim comp wheel was a mistake which they rectified on the escort cossie

If staying standard then just get a std exchange turbo, but if going stage 3 then go for a t34

Mike if you go with the T34, you'll also need a chip to suit.
