    Here is a thread from Motorgeek


    anyone seen the new Ceramic ball bearing option for t3, t4, and t3/t4 series turbo's from turbonetics? i've been contemplating what to do, b/c it looks like i can buy just the CHRA's for my t3/t04E turbo for like $600ish. anyone know how that would compare to a Garrett GT turbo? i mean, my...

    Having had my hands on the GT2871 and a GT3071 they are really good turbo's. IMHO

      Breitling, have you considered a custom manifold? That would solve your problem and you wouldn't have to cut anything. The RS2 manifold is only good up to around 430-450HP anyway. If you want to keep this manifold there are better options...and to make the most of your turbo you will need a different manifold.

      Just my opinion, not meaning to sound like a wise@ss or anything

        Yes, i think i will go for a custom made manifold so i can keep the original manifold as it is. Im not sure which turbo im going for- the Garret or the Turbonetics.

        What im sure about is that i want 430 hp in the first time.
        This month im going to get a full exhaust change. 3" downpipe with race kat and 2 silencers. Looking forward to that. so i have to decide what turbo im going for so everything will fit.

          I wouldn't go for the downpipe until you have finalised what manifold and turbo you are going for, it would be a shame to have to redo them if they all don't line up.

              It's worth mentioning that both turbos are available with a KKK exhaust housing, so they will fit your current manifold and downpipe. Meaning it would still fit if you choose to upgrade the exhaust first.

              Choices, choices...
