Thinking of using a bigger turbo.
I have used a .60/.36 T3 Garrett. Loved it until the seals went out and leaks oil badly. Now I am back to stock with a way badass intercooler setup. Totally loving that, however, I still don't like how tiny the turbo is. And I am going to have the opportunity to get a new turbo thanks to my tax return.
I am thinking something like this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/t3-t4...Q5fAccessories I am thinking this because its cheap for being new, and Its huge so It will flow tons of air. Also the ease of installation. I will be changing the turbine housing to the stock .36 A/R wastegated housing. Just to keep it simple.

Kevin,
you will need to swap the entire turbo, the stock wastegated exhaust housing wont fit that turbine wheel. The stock turbine wheel is an odd size and not a standart stage II or stage 1. Besides the tiny .36 A/R exhaust is what is restrictive with the little turbine wheel and tiny outlet. If you just swapped over the whole turbo, you would need to do an external waste gate. That was the turbo I was thinking about going to next, because of the even bigger compressor housing just for the noise, and has the .48 A/R exhaust, though I'm thinking the .63 is going to work fine once the M-46 is installed. FYI the stock turbine wheel also wont work (if you tried to use the new center, compressor, and stock turbine wheel and exhaust lets say) the shaft isn't long enough to accomidate the T4 compressor. The T4 is a good 1/4 or more thicker than the t3 compressor wheels. I have tinkered with the chineese turbos quite a bit... My vote would be for a setup like I did with the internal waste gate already on it. You can get the interally wastegated t3/t4 with the .63 A/R exhaust housing just like what I'm running for around the same price. If its going in your car with the M46 I think you will be happy with it. Jason

I've finally got one for you. Do you want me to have the end cap TIG welded up for you before I ship it? It will cost a little extra.

What about use an early .48 A/R exhaust housing from a Volvo gasser? plus a T4 compressor?
