Default T4 Turbo Recommendations?

I have just found out that the manifold i am using could only support a T4 turbo. I previously assumed that just simply changing a flange on the manifold would let me be able to switch from a T3 turbo to a T4, but obviously, it did not end up being that way Anyway, i was previously looking at t3/t4 hybrids such as the Innovative GTS61 along with a Garrett GT35R. I really liked the specs and people's feedback on these turbo's, but does anybody have any recommendation for a T4? I have done some minor research on some T4's such as the the Full-Race recommended t4/t67 and some of Precision's line of turbos such as the PT72. Could anybody else fill me in what i should look into? Be it Garrett, ITS, Turbonetics, Precision, etc... ANY info would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

If you're talking about maybe getting a GT35R or something by ITS, why not spend the money to get a t3 compatible manifold? What kind of engine is this going on?

I was originally planning on using the manifold on two of my setups. My first setup was acutally just going to be on a stock b16 and seeing how much power i could make with that, then it was going to go on a fully built LS/VTEC. Again, i *thought* i could simply change the flanges to make the manifold use two different turbos, but it's not looking like it is going to end up that way. I wasn't going to have a problem buying a t3/t4 turbo now and upgrading to a bigger one later. But, I do not want to buy two manifolds.

Remember that post about the SC61 on the miata? He had an adaptor to mount a T3 turbo on a T4 manifold. Search for the post, you should be able to find out where he got it.

I am slightly confused.....Your going to run the same turbo for both engines also?

.70 A/R S cover = .68 A/R T4 PT61 fully built 2.0. no where near together so don't ask how it works

there is no reason to match an sc61/gt35R compresor wheel with a p trim turbine. That is WAY more turbine than that compressor wheel needs.
