Im thinking of buying the T-60 turbo from Turbonetics then over the time of several months buying the other parts i need to upgrade my car to a single turbo sytem. Rather than spend over 3000 on the entire kit. What you all think. Anyone in here know anything about the T-60s?

I'm not familiar with the "T-60"...in fact, I think that you are referring to the 60-1...which is a "T-04S" if accompanied with a .70 a/r compressor housing.



I have a 60-1 right now, but with a .50 a/r...comparitable to a 60-1 Hi-Fi... B)

He could also be refering to the "T-60" that they offer which is a T series body with a 60mm compressor wheel in there.

The best place to buy a turbo is Innovative Turbo. They stand above the rest. Go for the T-72 Dual ball bearing. You'll pay more, but trust me, it'll make a **** load of power and it will spool fast too. Innovative turbo is the ONLY company making Dual ballbearing turbo's. Turbonetic's only makes single ballbearing and they don't make any difference. Been there, done that.

I'm not a fan of ball bearing turbo's though. Can't rebuild them!
