no offense, but this thread is pretty pointless

Sorry i was in a hurry.
To be more specific. Which turbos are you running?Why? Do you get them because they spool faster, or for the high end?
Theres a lot of companies to buy from was there one you would absolutely stay away from?
Not trying to be lazy,just acknowledging my own ignorance. Looking for guidaince from those who have more experience.

i'd take a full ball bearing t3/60-1 if they make one

I'll probably be running it without an intercooler. But I wanted a t3/t4.

I don't think I should run that without an intercooler. Maybe I'll try a rebuilt Z31 turbo.

accually id be better to run a bigger turbo without the IC because the bigger turbo wont heat up the air as much as a smaller turbo

TD05 14B, pretty small, cheap, and should get the job done.

I think turbonetics can make that for you. I don't know if it would be custom or what but when you get a BB T3 I think you can choose different options like size.

semi true...but heat is generated when you compress air.

bigger turbo means more air being compressed...more air being compressed = more heat.

I think realistically I'll probably have to get a T3. Just for the fact that it has the wastgate on the turbo.
Probably will shoot for 5-7psi on that turbo w/out intercooler.
But a T3/4 hybrid would be cool.

Last I knew/heard, Turbonetics only made SINGLE BB turbos(compressor side ONLY) not "full BB", ie dual or even tripple BB.

Also, GT series wheels have FAR superior aerodynamics to the antiquated T-series. I'd take GT-wheels with a T-series journal/sleeve bearing center section over a single BB Turbonetics(T-series) as long as it had a 360-degree thrust washer vs. 270-degree(http://www.turbomagazine.com/tech/0405tur_turbotech/). I've heard of some companies that put GT wheels in T-series turbos, however I doubt the price difference vs a regular GT turbo would be worthwhile.
