It was bad..... oil in the compressor side..... should just be a seal.

New turbo went in pretty easily, just required some persuasion to get the downpipe hooked up. Have a leak at the downpipe to turbo mating surface, probably just need a new gasket....

Looks great in the engine bay, and it should spool much faster with the new 48 ar turbine as opposed to the old 63 ar. !

 

Was your old t3 a .63 turbine? How do I pay you? Paypal?

 

paypal works. Give me a zipcode so I can figure out shipping for you

 

60002

 

If I do fedex, it looks like between 10 and 15 bucks shipping for regular ground

oh ****, yes 63 turbine

 

Sounds about right to me. The 3271 is about as expensive as a standard T3/T04E @ 650.00 but has GT technology. It should spoolup anywhere from 3500-4200rpm depending on the boost pressure you are running.
