I agree, I think we should combine our findings on what turbos will/wont work and I'll make a new thread into a sticky, so it could be sort of a refrence on what to look for if your replacing the stocker... Thoughts?

Sounds good. A resource like that would've definitely been helpful to me a couple months ago, lol.

The stock turbo was pushing 7psi cruising 70.. and now its more like 3psi. And when I get busy with this turbo it likes the higher rpms, loves to push air. the engine likes breathing through it better aswell. Louder compressor whine also!

I max boost at 13. Sometime it will get upto 15. I have adjusted the safety over boost valve all the way up too. It now dumps at 16 psi.

I Just now want to free up the exhaust side a bit with the .48 Turbine. I can feel it being choked out. I would probably actually want to see a .63 on there. But I don't want to make another down pipe or rig up some other kind of wastegate system. So I'll just hunt down that mercedes .48...

Witch mercedes turbo fits???

Can anyone tell me were i can get a T3/T4 turbo .43
i can only find it with .63

All the chinese ones on ebay are the .63 A/R. You need the .48 A/R of a straight T3. I would search around on craigslist for blown up/half ruined turbos. There are lots of chinese ones out there bought by kids that think they are going to turbocharge their civic over night. If you can find a T3 with the exhaust housing you want, then just buy the T3T4 and swap the exhaust housing over. Or the other way around. Other than the chinese turbos, its hard to find a stage 3 .48 A/R exhaust housing to fit the T3T4 they are selling. You can also get a standard stage 1 T3 likea thunderbird/svo/dodge turbo and swap over the chinese T4 cold side. You will have to shave down the snout of the impeller where the nut seats as the shaft will be a little too short. Even if the turbo is worn, all you need is the exhaust housing and shaft, you can use your center section if the bearings are in better shape (what I did).
