Default more headaches with the turbo..
Just got a quote for how much it'd cost to fix my T3/T4 turbonetics turbo.. US$380 they gotta import spare parts from the US to fix it..

I have two options now.. which is to fix this turbo, or to buy another turbo 2nd hand..

I'm thinking more into moving towards changing the turbo, since I think this T3/T4 is a little small for my B20B.. what I wanted from you guys is some opinions.. some turbos I have in mind include the IHI RX6, GReddy/Mitsu TD06-20G/25G, and HKS 3040S.. any other opinions? Its a daily driver, but it'd be nice to get 300+ WHP out of it with about 1 bar of boost Please don't suggest any Turbonetics turbos, the repair costs are ridiculous..

How much is shipping from Thailand to the US? Woudl it be cheaper to ship the turbo back to the US to get repaired here?

My bet is about $20-30 each way via airmail.

yep, with blockguard. JE's are coming soon.. and then my B18C crankshaft and B18C eagle rods will complement the 84mm JE's and I should have a B20B that revs like a B18C
