Hi Everybody.

I have a Sierra on a K plate and wanted to do a mild upgrade and saw this turbo on Ebay.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1311045249...9#ht_63wt_1399

Could anybody advise me please whether this would be a good turbo to buy? Is it expensive? or would there be better options to look at around the same money (£500)?, if so where/who would you recommend please?

Kind Regards

Andrew

 

It depends on what you want the car to drive like? My turbo is the same as the one you've shown, it doesn't really hit full boost til 4000rpm, but will hold boost quite high up the revs. They are good for a reliable 380bhp.

If you car is pretty standard, I'd personally get your standard t3 rebuilt and a 360 degree bearing fitted and aim for 320ish bhp. You'll have little lag and the car will be nice to drive.

 

If it was a t35 that hadnt been messed about with it would have TT commissioned 55housing on the back.

 

A t35 is a t34 with 63 housing at least that's what I have been told same as what is on my car

 

How can you tell 55 housings?

 

who told you that twoddle
The escort cosworth t34 has a.63 turbine housing as std

 

Cant remember now lol
