Are all t3/t4 turbos created equal?
Well, I am definately piecing my kit together.
And going with the T3/T4.
There are different specs for the T3/T4s? What should I be looking for?
The t3/t4 is the same as in the DRAG3 kit correct?
And...who makes the DRAG turbos? Garett? Turbonetics?
I am not too shabby on turbo manufacturers yet. Thanks.

Quick answer is: No!
Mine came from Drag with a Turbonetics. The way I've heard (or read on the boards) is that you can't be sure which trim level you'll be sent from Drag. I can't verify this though.
Anyone else?
Take care,

And how are Garrett turbos? And what kits do they usually come with?
Who makes the RevHard turbos?

Re: Are all t3/t4 turbos created equal? (The Mick)
Mick, you received the standard DRAG 1.8L turbo. The only time any DRAG kit owner will have a different turbo than the one that usually comes in the kit is when they don't buy the kit from our company or DRAG uses the next closest trim to satisfy an impatient customer.
BG Boost: whoever told you that is mis-informed. DRAG only offers the B series hybrids for Civic, Prelude, and Accord applications. The E series hybrid is reserved for all Integra applications.

Which turbo are you asking about in particular? DRAG uses 5 different secret trims made specifically for them by Turbonetics.

I am 100% sure that I do not have a T04E housing... I have no idea what the internals are though.

Tony, the SOHC Gen 2 kit uses the T04B/T3.
Dustin, Turbonetics changed the E housings last summer. The E looks a lot like their B housings now. I think they did it because they wanted the housings to say Turbonetics instead of Garrett. That's just my opinion though.

Ben I know you told me that the DRAG 2 turbo is a B series with a Super V, .63 A/R, Stage three. What exactly does this information say about the turbo? What is it's best boost application and so forth?

GS-Racer01: Similar turbo from Turbonetics.
Scotty: You'd have to buy one to fine out.
Brett: Your turbo will offer very quick spool up but will run out of steam around 450 horsepower.

Re: Are all t3/t4 turbos created equal? (b18b98)
Ben how much boost will approximately equate to 450hp? So in other words I don't need a turbo upgrade for my current engine status.

b18b98: your Garrett turbo most likely came from Turbonetics.
Brett: you're looking at about 25psi.
