I agree. Most people could careless about the people on this site. I can see why though.
It's why none of the local Turbos here even post up about their car.

i'm most likey going to go turbo this winter. My buddy is building a race car and he wants my supercharger, and he said that he'll give me his new t3/t4 turbo for my supercharger. Do you think that its a decent turbo to go with? I only want to run 15-18 lbs of boost.
also, a list of parts would be awesome if you could.
one more thing, are you running a boost controller/turbo timer with it? if so what? and if not, why?

I try to help people out since when I was looking for help on this it was hard to find, but some of the guys did give me pointers via PM so I can't complain.
I'll put up a complete parts list, don't have part #'s but at least you can get an idea of what it contains.
sstuner, it all depends on which t3/t4 turbo it is, there are a **** load of different trims and whatnot to consider. I might be getting a 60-1 in trade for some parts, so I might give that a try once I build up the other motor.
Wsfrazier I have a spare head for sale at the moment, check out my for sale thread (somewhere on here)

Text taken from ecotecforums.com( this is from Paul)
Garrett T-3 super 60, Turbo XS wastgate 38mm (switching to tial soon) and a turbo XS race BOV (also switching to tial) We used universal piping kits that Kenny got off ebay to make the piping which really made that easy. JDM sport 3" core intercooler x28x8. Ebay turbo manifold, which needed work, and more since the flange is warped and leaking.

So I know your getting tons of questions, but i have a few more if you dont mind me asking.
1. I noticed you got the turbo manifold off ebay, what vehicle was that specifically for?
2. So you arent running a boost controller/turbo timer?
3. Did you have to adjust your fuel pressure regulator?
4. The turbo i was looking at is a t3/t4 57 trim ball bearing turbo, any thoughts?

It was just a generic ecotec turbo manifold with external waste gate and down turn turbo flange (only way a turbo will fit back there)
I am running a single stage Turbosmart boost controller, no turbo timer yet, I just let the car run for about 5 minutes.
Haven't changed anything with the fuel system yet, but from the looks of things, I"m pretty much getting close to maxing out my stock one.
t3/t4 57 trim may be a little big for our car's but it will give you some damn good power once it spools.
