I am in the market for a new turbo and a friend has one that he wants to sell me

Its a Garrett 60-1, he says he thinks the hot side is .63? and is sure the cold side is .70

He says its a 360 thrust bearing turbo t3 flanged.

I was wondering if this will work alright with decent spool time hopefully before or around 5k

My setup is

Stock gsr head [Thinking about going ctr or itr cams]
SPA top mount [replacing my revhard cast and T04e turbo]
Tial 38mm
JE SRP 81mm pistons
Eagle H beams
ARP Headstuds
3" DP - 3" strait pipe to 6" can dumping out right past the shifter tucked in the center tunnel - Might replace this with 3" cat back
Precision 880cc or 1000cc not sure which replacing my dsm blue tops

I've got a high low electronic boost controller and am wanting to set it to 8/16 psi and am wanting about 400hp on high boost using 93 octane.

Thanks for your time,
DK

It'd work fine...its not the best turbo out there for your goals, but it'll make the power you're wanting

are you saying I need something bigger? or that its just a crappy turbo, or slow spool time? I really cant afford a gt 30 like I'd like. Is it going to be better than my to4e?

I'd actually suggest a 57trim. It will make all the power you need and still have more to give, plus it spools faster than the 60-1. Having said that, dont take it as the 60-1 is a bad turbo...it will get you to your power goals, but its probably a little big.

hum, well I have a to4e 57 trim right now, I was wanting something that would produce 400-500hp and still be efficient. 4 being on pump and 5 on race gas. I would also like to have something big enough for when I sleeve it and go 84mm.

So are you saying I wont spool till 6-7k or something?

60-1 turbo is fine no reason to spend more money on a ball bearing turbo

thanks for your response, I really cant afford a bb turbo right now I just spent too much money on my engine build.

I just wonder what around what rpm I'm going to spool it though.

The 57 trim or maybe a 60trim will do you just well.For your goal I believe the 57 trim can make (400-450hp) depending on your setup.Spools up pretty fast as well.Synapse has a dyno graph of there 57 trim on a stock b16 producing 451hp I believe.

I bought it, 60-1 w tial 38mm for 474$ shipped. I couldn't pass this deal up.

I can't wait to top mount this chit,

I know my 57 trim would probably work just fine, but I sold my turbo setup to my lil brother today so I can replace it all with better stuff.

I heard this turbo can produce 16-18hp per lb.

I mainly bought this turbo so I wont have to upgrade it when I go 84mm sleeves.

I let you all know how it works out.

Thanks again.

on my old bottom end (2.0l), my 60-1 spooled around 4-4500 on 10-15 lbs and felt awsome so ull be happy. i would say it would have the same characteristics as 1.8l
