im looking to turbo charge my d16z6 with stock internals...i have a drag manifold and turbonetics wastegate. if i run turbonetics where can i find a t3/t04B? and if i get a garret will it work for my drag manifold? and which one would you recommand? i want speed but i also want to drive it around town.

 

Yes garrett makes a t3/t04b for your set-up, it has the same 4 bolt exhaust collector flange as the turbonetics. I personally like the turbonetics, but garrett is a nice turbo as well. Do a google search online, or check out ebay.

 

cool thanks dude....

 

I am also interested in this debate, The garrett is basically the exact same turbo yet the turbonetics one is more expensive...... explain?

 

Im a master destributor for both and the main reason i think Turbonetics is worth more is because it comes with a full 1 year warranty, no hassle. If your garrett goes, your stuck buying a whole new turbo.There also vey diffrent as far as actual performance. Garrett turbos hit very hard when they come in, turbonetics make just as much if not more power, but have a more linear feel to them. It mainly depends on reliability and what kind of driving youll be doing.

 

Turbonetics are single ball bearing turbo's.

Garrett (except for the GT series) are thrust washer bearing turbo's.

 

Go garrett GT series if you can afford. When properly installed, they last a very long time.

 

Just get the best turbo from either company that you can afford, and meet your horsepower goals/spooling goal.

 

personally i prefer Garrett on a purely aesthetic basis....

 

thanks guys, right now i am running a garrett t3 .42/.48 little guy on my stock b16a and it pulls great down low, but runs outta breath up top....

not to doubt you, but do you have any proof of this?

 

turbonetics makes their own stuff. they used to use some parts from garrett but garrett killed their contract

so are you saying that ALL turbonetics turbos are ball bearing?
