Which garret turbo is good for a 2g??

[96TalonAWD]

ok we 2g people are cursed of not having a stock original mitsubishi turbo, and we got the garret for that we pay extra $290 for a installation kit in a 16g or whatever turbo. but what about the garret turbos the
Garrets T3, T4 turbos i hear they are weak?? But will they fit in a 2g with no kit necessary?


I DONT wanna expend almost $300 on a kit!!
i can buy me a stage 2 clutch on ebay with that money!!!

Who told you this? T4/T3 combo and T4 turbos work pretty well on DSM's when sized right or the right mods are in place. All turbo's will need something modified to bolt onto a 2nd gen car.

Then don't, search the many DSM sites and see what parts you need and build a kit yourself. It isn't rocket sceince and you aren't the first one to upgrade a turbo on these cars.

Or you can get another $100 together and buy a ACT 2600/street disk combo and get more use out of it.

some companies now make some very nice and large turbos that will bolt right up to your 2g manifold including AGP www.agpturbo.com , Forced Performance www.forcedperformance.net , and Extreme www.extremeturbo.com

Weak? I hope not... I have a T3/To4e (got from AGP) (57 Trim/Stage 3... .48 AR for the record)...... Ran a 12.0 at 119 w/o even maxing out the turbo... still on a 2g motor (2g head with 2g intake manifold, unported).....

Turbo pulls HARD, and I know there is even more power left in it, I"m a garrett fan -- which is probably why I spent the money to get the South Florida Preformance manifold........ might as well do it right
(I do NOT reccomend the turbonetics manifold..... unless you get one for a VERY good price)
