T3/T4 TURBOS INTERNALLY GATED 8PSI...

Your information is so far from getting any kind of a good answer ... need brand, turbine specifications, compressor specifications, frame, etc ... Lots missing for anyone to give you an answer.

Sounds like chrysler turbos. I used those about 12 years ago on a homemade twin turbo setup on a 306. They worked well.

2 stock svo or turbo coupe turbos will work great on your car

The kit i found is 750 it comes with everything except the tune and guages. But as far as the specifications it doesnt say.

i would personally want turbos that ARE NOT internally gated.... and external wastegate is going to be more reliable and consistent

i'm sure you're looking for the cheap route to go, but as i'm sure you will find millions of times on the net, there's NO CHEAP ROUTE when going with turbos... that kit is $750 or whatever... that tells you that everything is cheap... each one of the turbos for my Trans Am were $1000, and they weren't even TOP NOTCH ball bearing, liquid cooled turbos... they were traditional journal bearing, oil cooled turbos... they were precisions, so they were a good name, but didnt' have all the bells and whistles that come with turbos now

I mean, i'm not going to blame you.. if i could get a turbo kit for my 'vette for that cheap, i'd probably give it a shot... if the turbo dies after a year, then buy a new one... but you're still going to have a lot of expense in that kit... you need to make headers, downpipe, and have it all fabbed together...

C i know of a header shop and also my one friend has his own shop that he wroks on drift cars and also his trans am. So getn the manifolds and down tubes put on wouldnt b to hard and as far as the price ur right i cant pass the price up and if they last a year then thats long enough for me. If i buy it i will eventually upgrade new turbos but i just figured for the time being. I wanna have some fun so i think ill buy it. But does any1 know wat gauges ill need??

All you need is 1 turbo, but I see you have your mind set on the junk they sell on Ebay, good luck

[89lx 5.0HO]

If one is good enough then ok. i just figured 2 would be better even if they crap out after a while

[Black Vert]

You will be lucky if they work at all and dont blow the seals in a week, when I was researching cheap turbos a while back, I found nothing but bad reviews on the cheap chinese ebay turbos. I ended up going with Master Power turbos, although cheap, lots of guys have had good luck with them, including me. A MP 70mm T4 turbo was less than $600 shipped. It will make more than enough boost to crack your block. But if your set on twin turbos do like yeahloh95 suggested, you'll be better off.

Where did u get your turbo??

[Black Vert]

Got my turbo here about 4years ago http://www.vsracing.net/catalog/index.php

Read the description carefully on those $750 eBay "kits". They are "universal kits"....meaning they require extensive welding/fabrication to get them to fit your car.

Turbo's rock, really really hard, but if you aren't the most mechanically knowledgeable and are just getting into the cars-going-fast hobby, jumping into a turbo kit is probably going to be a tall task....especially if you're on a really tight budget.

At this early stage of the game for you, you may want to think about one of the many cheap centrifugal supercharger kits out there that are a billion times easier to install and still can make very decent power.

Good luck!

dont be cheap buy yourself a precision or a garret single that will blow those twins out of the water and crack your block in no time. cheap isnt always better man especially with motors and power adders

Thanks guys for the help i actually talked to some1 who bought the ebay kit i was lookn at he said it wasnt hard to put on but the first day he drove it which was as soon as he took it out of the garage he took it to get tuned at. He said as soon as he punched it both turbos started spewn oil. SO i will be going with 1 good turbo so thanks guys glad i didnt spend the money on the cheap sh**
