cheers pal thought it would be good saving money though so cheaper alternative is a chinese t04e for £150, i was lookin at all sorts like chinky t70 or gt30 or even a holset!

Sometimes its better to spend a little more in one go then buying 2 or 3 replacments if tge turbo goes bang.. The garret t34 has been tried n tested for years mate and it is a awesome turbo

im interested building a pinto turbo trying to keep it on a budget and use some parts i already have,i've got a T3 from a cosworth and a couple that came from ERST and FRST one of them will be going on a 205 bottom end with an efi head any idea what kind of power im looking at with a few mods cam vernier megasquirt sorry for the hijack and good luck with your build.

Agree 100%, T34.48 cars are superb as a road car, has the punch of the T3 but makes that bit more BHP and is a hoot @ 32psi peak, really loved that setup on my old 3dr...

First thing i'd do is fit a complete Cosworth engine.

Will an EFi head do 350bhp un fettled??

As above, imo I can't see the head/manifold being able to flow well enough for the power you want as standard, thats the same as a slightly fettled YB makes! Real world more likely 250-300HP at the most I should think with porting etc.

if the best real world option is a YB what is the going price for one either standard or early stage spec ?
