Hey i found a turbo im looking at buying with the following specs, it seems about right for a 4l but thought id better double check anyway.

T4, V-flange, divided tang, 70mm compressor inlet, 50mm compressor outlet, 0.60 A/R compressor 1.05 A/R turbine. Basically a 60-1 Perfect

its be perfect providing you a) can get insurance, b) your car is already lowered, c) brake upgrade already done and d) you dont expect a large boost or your engines internals wont like it.

finished & installed your looking at the 6-9k mark.

I noticed in the side thing you are 17 the only, if you want insurance on a turbo car expect to either get

1. 3rd Party about $700
2. Full Comp absolute MINIMUM $2000+

Theres no way around it, trust me i've tried icon_cry.gif , and you can't put it under parents name either basically the only company that will insure you are just car insurance.
