I want a used garret or greddy turbo. Please message me back with what you have and your price

or

I would love to get a complete turbo kit for my 1992 1.6L Miata. I would really like something I can just put on and run it. I would like a megasquirt or like a voodo box.

Did you check ebay? There are a billion there. Get a t3-60 off of a and old ford and rebuild it. Its good to 22ish psi and around 300whp. Its basically a journal bearing 2860rs using old tech.

You just want the actual turbocharger?

There are literally hundreds of different models/sizes... do you want one that's good for 150whp or 2000whp? Is this going on a Miata or a snowmobile? Do you already have any other parts? Why these particular brands? There are other companies that make turbochargers.

You've given us zero information that can be useful. What if somebody PM's you and says "I've got a turbo, it's in good shape and I'll sell it to you for $100 shipped"... now what do you do?

Journal bearing turbo's can be rebuilt for about $75. There is a writeup on how to rebuild both a T25 and a T3 turbo in the USEFUL SAVED POSTS FORUM.

What exactly are you looking for? You started one thread saying kit and now another saying turbo? I'm gonna combine the two.

Rockin' the mod powers!!!




OP:

I highly recommend BEGi. Great components, great upgrade paths.

If you really want something for a 1.6L I'm considering upgrading mine, and will let it go sans MS. For the right price I might throw in the engine management, but depends on your budget. I CAN make it all plug and play for you if needed.
