Default time to choose my new turbo

so im beginning to look for a brand new turbo,,my tuner sold me a rebuilted one this summer and lastonly 5 months..so i want to go brand new


my setup is a b18b forged,head built cammed and ported,equal lenght manifold,800 cc injectors,dynoed 370whp and 320lbs(6900RPM) with a garret journal bearing turbo(similar spec to the gt3071)on 91 octane and 50/50 meth..full boost at 6000 rpm(18 psi)and the spool begin at 4000rpm and cut off a 8000 rpm

budget is 700-800$
i want the same power or more at 18 psi,t3-t4 flange,3 inch v-band for downpipe external wastegate

ive read a lot here and on the net but to have a idea of a guy who have more experience is always better...and im from canada and have a good place to buy one let me know

You arent going to get alot better than a t04E on that setup. if you can get a couple extra pennies. Get a STC Silver Surfer!

For that kind of power at 18psi with room for more you'll probably need something in the gt32-gt35 range. Although you're not going to make a lot of power on 91

you will need a 4 four bolt flange, I got a 4 bolt to 3"inch vband flange to redo the down pipe. Gonna order the coolant kit for 115$, it basically removes the front freezw plug with a fitting and thats the feed line, the drain come off the turbo and has fittings to adapt to the radiators bung.

It's a 2.5" V-band. the Garrett ones won't fit. Look to Precision or ATP turbo to get the clamp and flange for your downpipe.

Precision. Garrett journal bearing systems don't use v-band setups. Just the 2.5" T31 4 bolt

Yes. They come oil cooled only with T3 flange. See video of the description on YouTube
