t34 or gt30
ow do folks,have got hold of t34 with a 48mm exhaust housing it has a little sideways play in the shaft,i have just had my 3dr dynoed (293 bhp with 300 lbs torque(1-31,greens,rs500 `cooler,mongoose,3bar)) not bad i thought for 96k on the clock,i was advised by the operator to sell my t34 and buy a gt30 instead,i think i will struggle to get an exhaust to fit my yb.
was just wondering if i was better off getting my t34 rebuilt or the gt30 (he said it will spool up quicker and hold the boost better) and who you would reccommend localish to rebuild the t34 if possible ( i`m in north yorkshire)

You would need more than just a GT30...
You'd be getting into new injectors, at least 1 camshaft, a head gasket and a mapping session...
A GT30 is a 450+bhp turbo.
For what it'd cost to upgrade compared to what it'd cost for a turbo rebuild - to me it's a no brainer if you're happy with the way your car drives at the moment!
