What are the specs on the t3/to4? The one you have now might just be what the doctor ordered.

57 trim, but.......^^x2

If it's not and there is no shaft play, then rock it! What are your hp goals. If your lookin for no more than ~420hp then you should be fine with that turbo. GL.

300whp is lots to get deep into the 12's in a crx with good traction.

Garrett T3/T04e 57trim 63AR here.

very true. we have a car we put together as a joke and it made 233 on a stock d- series motor and we went a 12.44 at 112.6mph in alabama.
