Yes garrett makes a t3/t04b for your set-up, it has the same 4 bolt exhaust collector flange as the turbonetics. I personally like the turbonetics, but garrett is a nice turbo as well. Do a google search online, or check out ebay.

Im a master destributor for both and the main reason i think Turbonetics is worth more is because it comes with a full 1 year warranty, no hassle. If your garrett goes, your stuck buying a whole new turbo.There also vey diffrent as far as actual performance. Garrett turbos hit very hard when they come in, turbonetics make just as much if not more power, but have a more linear feel to them. It mainly depends on reliability and what kind of driving youll be doing.

Turbonetics are single ball bearing turbo's.

Garrett (except for the GT series) are thrust washer bearing turbo's.

Go garrett GT series if you can afford. When properly installed, they last a very long time.

Just get the best turbo from either company that you can afford, and meet your horsepower goals/spooling goal.
