[Mk2] [Turbo] Anyone got this turbo?

[Graeme Shaw]

Hi

Looking at ebay and came across this nice looking turbo
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 2759.l1259

Any one had one of these, im awaiting full specs of it. Unless anyone knows exactly what it is? ie trim size and stuff?

just looks like a large ct26 hybrid to me, with single port wastegate....

[gline]

wonder is it legit.

i thought the housing needed to be bigger for a turbo to be capable of 600hp as claimed in the ad?

[GhostWKD]

Dont know about the specifics but if its got the larger trim then surely thats all that matters?

I know when i had my turbo'd cinquecento i almost had T2 internals put into my T15 turbo, would've needed bit of work to the housing but effectively a T2 turbo in a T15 housing, though not sure if its possible on the scale they're talking (T4 into a CT26 from what i can tell?)

600hp

What exactly does the "T4/60" bit mean?

Graeme

Would stay clear of that. Exhaust foot print looks different and there's a lack of bolts that side. Better to keep your money save up and buy a good turbo from a good dealer. I found ats to be good.

Mmmmm......... looked ats, but I dont think there ct26 upgrade is that good.
Ideally im looking for ct26 hybrid stage 3 or something close. I think most stage 3`s run a 48 or 52 mm wheel, stell internals and 360 deg thrust bearing.
The ats only seems to run a 46mm wheel?

That is the size of comp wheel, a big one.

Ah...... So is it 60mm wheel? So what does the "t4" bit mean?

Graeme

basically its a garret centre fitted into toyota housings,hence why it says you need the new flanges for oil inlet/outlet.
but with that turbo pictured you would have to make a new downpipe,unless he could supply the turbo with a proper 3s-gte exhaust housing.

as for claims of 600bhp! i wouldnt believe that for a minute!

T4 is a size of turbo, the same as T3, T25, GT35 etc
That is a large wheel but its not just the comp side that gives the power, the whole turbo has to be right and sized to the engine.
