Garrett 57 trim turbo

[selmerguy]

I was thinking about dropping this turbo in the car. My ebay 50 trim is blowing oil and this one will bolt right into my current turbo setup. The turbo has a .63 ar. Any of you guys running this. Right now I run 680cc injectors so I should be able to get 20 psi out if it right? How do you guys like this turbo? If you have numbers please post them up or just let me know how you like it. Also I am setup for a 55 wet shot do you think this turbo will respond well to it?
Thanks
Sam

I would just find another 50 trim, they flow more than the 57 trim does.

I can get a 57 trim used for like 350 to my door. It has no shaft play and very few miles on it. And it is a garrett quality product so it will last me for awhile. I have some cross country driving comming up so for the price it will be tuff to beat. I thought about another ebay turbo but I cant afford for my car to break down while going from texas to virgina.

The "57-trim" has a terrible-looking compressor map. I suggest that if you're going to be dropping money on a turbo, get one that is going to be what you want and can use, not just something to get you by.

Wow. Yeah i did alittle more research and it dosent look that hot. It's all good the seller sold it to someone else.
