I think this belongs in the FI (Forced Induction) forum. But if I had to pick one, I'd pick the T3/T4 Hybrid. I like Turbonetics better than Garrett, but I'm not saying Garrett is bad. Garret is still a good turbo. I'm just saying that's what I like for my engine.

its pronouced Garrett, and it depends on the setup. "Its Not which turbo is better for me" Its what your motor can handle. How many lbs of boost you going to run ?

*Bump* Wondering about Turbo setup on a 2000 B18B, aiming for 15-17 Boost.

From past thread similar to this one, alot of peolple have had problems with the customer service at Turbonetics, and not to mention I hear of more problems from Turbonetics owners, than garret owners.

Do a search in the Fi forum and youll find most poeple don't buy turbonetics anymore because of thier shitty service, and people complaining that thier wuality of work has went down

I'd go with Garrett, or Id spend a little more cash $$ and go with precision

If youre comparing turbo to turbo, we would need to know more than t3/t4.

As for which company you prefer, thats up to you.
