What is the brand of turbo that's on the T2 stock? My friend has a turbo for sale I'm goin' to buy off of him... it's not big enough for his V-6.

Yup. It's a Hitachi. Looks something like this, minus the compressor wheel upgrade.

it's a garett T3 turbo... found a manifold for it today on the net... didn't have a price tho... was pretty nice lookin'. Need to find other stuff for it now... like fuel injection, blowoff valve, etc.

None as of yet... I'll try to get more for ya tomorrow... I'll post them if I do get them.



My friend did take it to a turbo specialist and he said he wouldn't put it on anything more than a 1.5L engine. I thought it would be great for my 13B.

ohh ok... just remember as far as turbo sizing goes the 13B moves as much air as probably a 2.5L or more

ok... I'm picking it up from my friend tomorrow... I'm trading my supercharger for it... he can use the s/c and I'm pretty sure that the turbo is gonna work out pretty good on the car... I'll bring it to the INWR meeting for who ever is gonna be there.
