turbo question

[1PhatCX]

alright, heres the deal guys
my brother has a garret T3 turbo for sale for 50 bucks, he said the bearings feel good but its been sitting for awhile so he doesnt know if it needs a rebuild or not, right now i'm tempted to buy it but it dont want to if its gonna need a rebuild. what do u guys think? i'll be running about 7 Psi on my Stock ZC daily if it makes a difference

no idea how many miles but everything feels nice and tight inside there. and theres no shaft play at all, well i guess the price is right, i just need 2 find an HF manifold tho i guess i'm gonna grab it off my bro then thanx guys

yeah go for it , worse comes to worst its only 50 bux, now get the rest and fit that shit on :P

HF manifold... screw that, just pick up the SSautochrome one, equal lenght stainless direct bolt on and the quality is pretty good too. not to mention fairly cheap.

k-drum, isnt that the one everyone hates on because its cheaply made? i dont really have the money for a turbo manifold at the moment however, but i might be getting a free HF manifold to do this anyways

HF manifold dominates the SSautochrome manifold. they are totally junk.

[Kunundrum]

I have used the SS manifold, And have friends that still use the SS manifold, the new reinforced one is quite good.

but if you feel like condeming a product without using it that's up to you.

[Hilikus Funkin]

I say use the hf manifold especially if its free, but i trust the SS manifold, its only like $150 too.

[1PhatCX]

yea well if i had the green i'd try one out, but i dont so HF it is for now

[91civicDXdude]

If you notice, they stopped selling the manifold because it was fucking trash. OBX does have a new one out though that is a direct copy of full race's manifold which looks promising, and sells for $400.

the SSauto manifold had runners that were too small, too thin, had bad welds, and placed the turbo too low for any practical use.
