Default T4 Turbo To Fit A Cossie

Any ideas who to try or where can I get one at a reasonable price? I have tried a couple of people I know and they dont have any. The only one who does has it on his car and wont sell it.

Thanks in advance.

i knew that was coming, but fooking funny...


what abiout a bentley T4, would need the downpipe modifying to suit, but would be cheaper than rs500 T4, and just as fooking massive...

someone on this board may have one for sale...was going to go on his skyline, but cant be arsed with hassel and just wants skyline back on road asap....

bro if you change your turbo install a ball bearing unit. For the same size turbo the spool is much faster...

By my understanding its a T4 compressor on a T3 .48 exhaust. Am I right?

I dont understand why someone would do that as it will no flow as much. Correct?

Also it has a/r .50 on the front, I thought it would be bigger as Im led to believe a T34 has a/r .60 on it?

Anyone care to shed any light or am I getting the wrong end of the stick completely?

The A/R ratio is the gap between the egde of the wheel and the housing, the bigger the gap the bigger the number, and the higher flow it can provide, but of course at the expense of response...... size of the turbo is irrelavant, its just a measure of that one particular trim size
