Is there another ball bearing Garrett GT turbo that is slightly larger than the GT35/40? (maybe with a T4 flange and turbine)

Thanks!

GT40. Hard to get though.

I've heard that the GT40 IS NOT Ball bearing as advertised... Is this true?

Interesting. Any word on pricing?

Something I have never understood, is why does everyone hate on the Gt series turbos and t3 manifolds, when a gt35/40 works pretty well for a street car.. I know the exhaust side is small in all, but damn it can't be that small...



Or is it just the gt 35/40 kits have big a/rs 1.15+ therefore its like a smaller a/r t4?

T3 is small. If never plan on boosting higher than 15 psi...get the gt35/40. Just pray that you don't blow your motor....or you'll be buying a very expensive turbo as well.

I just bought am A-spec 35/40 kit.

Jspecracer7, I guess your saying tha the rebuilt cartridge is pricey?

quite pricey. I can rebuild a standard T4 turbo for less than $150, not including exhaust blade. With exhaust blade, it'll cost proly around the $300~ area. This includes new front/rear CHRA bearings, rear oil seal, thrust bearing/collar ...I may be missing some other parts too, but that's not bad for $300.

BBs are much more expensive, but the spool up time is supposedly worth it. Is 15 psi the most efficient for the GT35/40? (I don't have the compressor map)

ATP sez they get in a couple ball bearing ones every few months, usually pre-sold for $1950.
