finally, im about to buy my turbo. garrett t3/t04e turbo 57 trim, .63 a/r. thats what ive decided, but do i need to get the 4bolt pattern? and also, im going to get a tail 38mm wastegate is that alright? and i noticed that you can choose the spring size, what size do you all suggest i get? im not sure that this means either.....and i need to get that tail 38mm flange with it too, right? anything else? im going to order as soon as i figure this out.

 

4 bolt or 5 bolt doesn't matter unless you already have a manifold and downpipe combo. In which case, you would go with the bolt pattern that's on your downpipe.

If you haven't gotten one yet, just get the 4 bolt. It's easier to deal with.

38mm is fine. Again, depends on if you already have a manifold or not. If you haven't looked into the Synapse wastegate I would suggest doing that as well. It's a little different but I like mine over my old Tial.

The spring in the wastegate is the pressure that you will be running. So if you buy an 8psi spring you will be running 8psi etc etc etc. Choose the base pressure that you want to run and go with that.

After you buy the wastegate and turbo you will need to buy a manifold that has both a T3 turbo flange and a 38mm wastegate flange. Your downpipe will need to have a 4 bolt flange. Either that, or it's time to have someone weld you a downpipe and all that good stuff.

 

why synapse over tial sov? j/c is the synapse the bov that runs off of your vacuum and opens and shuts like immediately when you let off the gas?

and for jhs, great choice of turbo , sov answered your q completely but i got a q for you to help you a little more...

what are you hp goals? this will help us determine what bar spring to select, size of intercooler, things you might need to purchase to help get your goals easier, etc...

 

alright guys, sorry it took so long i was at the beach for GRADUATION! yes, fun....anyway, im back and ready to start this project. hp goals--im not real sure but i plan on getting the t3/t4 with all necessary hardware, skunk2 intake manifold, bdl fuel rail, bdl throttle body, skunk 2 cams and cam gears, arp head and main studs, cp or je pistons (either 8:1 or 9:1) and eagle rods, new valve springs and retainers (either supertech or skunk2), greddy oil catch can, stealthmode performance oil line kit, and i have no clue what kind of fpr, fuel pump, and injectors i should get. one more thing, driveshaftshop 2.9 axles. so, there are my plans. i guess i plan on doing pretty much everything except sleeving and boring. give me some suggestions and thoughts now. i realize this might take me a while but its what i want and i can wait because i want quality stuff.

 

alright guys, JUST ORDERED--PEAKBOOST ac compatible ramhorn manifold, downpipe, and dumptube. $1250 shipped with lifetime warranty. also, just ordered a synapse bov for $185 shipped.

 

sounds like the start of a beautiful relationship.
