multiple turbos, same questions for each.
they got a a website where they sell turbos and they got some videos of supras and other cars with the turbos on them and they sound really good..

Your best bet it so get a junkyard T3 and rebuild it. You can get the turbo for $100-150 and a rebuild kit for $60 then you KNOW you have a good turbo. I took a T3 60trim off the chart at over 20psi several times before it turned itself inside out and I only paid $30 for it.

thats a bit overkill. very nice turbo, but you would need a built motor to boost that even close what its designed to. that turbo's sweet spot is about 30-35psi!
find yourself a nice .48 trim t3. or even better yet, a mitsubishi 16g or 20g. any of those would offer alot more usable power.
