What do you guys think of this T3/T4 setup?

[tamer]

Hopefully I'm posting this in the correct forum, if not I'm sorry..I'm still new and trying to figure out what goes where.

I ran across this turbo setup while planning out my goals and future of my car (1G Eclipse GS Turbo). Please let me know what you think, the seller seems legitimate, seems to have many happy customers, they are on ebay, but they seem to have a legitimate website linked at the top of the page..

Thanks,

I wouldn't suggest not to buy anything on ebay, but I would not but a turbo from there. You need to be careful when you buy a turbo.

In addition, in general e-bay exhaust manifolds are junky. That thing will probably crack like a champion.

The real question is, do you have any idea what you are doing in terms of turbo sizing? I'd be willing to bet not. That's perfectly acceptable considering you are new to this, but don't just jump in and ask if a turbo is the right thing.

Instead, you need to do some reading about turbo sizing, and what different turbos are capable of.

That's what I was thinking,

I'm not planning on buying a turbo within the next three months, at least...I'm still looking at my options, and still trying to choose where I'd like to go with my car, still need to decide between roadracing and drag racing..

I'm still trying to decide between the EVO III Big16G and the T3/T4 stuff..but I really need to decide soon so I know what exhaust components to upgrade now, or to wait for the turbo...I've been eyeing the AGP RS52, and the Full kit AGP sells, manifold, wastegate, O2, and turbo..

Anyways, thanks for the help,
Tamer

T04E TURBOCHARGER
" 3" INLET DIAMETER
" 2" OUTLET
" WET FLOATING BALL BEARINGS
SPECS:
.57T GARRET COMPRESSOR WHEEL
.50 A/R COMPRESSOR
.63 A/R TURBINE
THIS TURBO CAN EASILY DO 25 psi 530 whp


Personally, I'd give my left nut to actually see a 57 trim make 530whp @ 25psi on a 2.0L motor, when a 60-1 can barely do that at 32psi.

Sounds like a typical scam..

Thanks for clearing it up,
