Default GARRETT T3/T4 50 TRIM .48 A/R

I'm really sorry, I know this is the technical forums, but that marketplace confuses the hell out of me. I'm thinking about getting a GARRETT T3/T4 50 TRIM .48 A/R. Where can I get one new for a good price. Any good non shady websites that anyone suggests?

for what you requested

the precision 5431e is from what they say "an improved 50 trim" i personally have one on the way but couldn't find **** for info on it besides a 50lb/min flow rate and a billet wheel

turbo daves has them for $609

https://turbodaves.com/Precision_Turbo_.html

cost to benefit is what had me. for the price of that garrett 50 i figured you might as well get a gt3071r

the precision 5431e doesn't cost extra for housing changes and is $110 to $160 less depending on if you use a 5 bolt exhaust or not

Why the .48 turbine housing? what engine is this going on? Agreed on the billet precision or gt30

I'm using the b18b and since its a non vtec head it doesn't flow as well so the smaller trim will get me a better torque curve for what I want. I'm staying under 350whp so the .48 should be plenty

I like the price on that precision turbo so I'm gonna do some research on that. Since I'm only looking to cross the 300whp mark, I can't decide if I should do a .48 a/r or a .63 a/r. Which one would go better with a 50 trim?

I sell the 5431e for $605. But honestly, I'd suggest spending a little bit more and getting a slightly larger turbo.

Are you running this on a DOHC B series? If so, I'd go with a .63 housing.

on a stock LS? why? that turbo will already be able to make more power than his bottom end can handle.

Its not going to be completely stock, it'll have eagle rod's and JE forged pistons, but I'm not looking for a big turbo. It needs to be small bc the B18b can't rev very high on the stock head so a big turbo wouldn't be able to spool fast enough to make good torque in my power range. so a 50 trim with .63 a/r will do the trick for what I want

I realize that, the other thread was for idea's, this one was for websites that sell the turbo I was looking for. That was all I was trying to get, but people were asking questions so I was just responding to them appropriately

I like having a slightly larger turbo so you have room to grow. I really was referring to the .48 housing though, I'd at least go with a .63.

And I understand it's an LS but in the future, if you throw a vtec head on it, and you want to rev higher, then if you have a slightly larger turbo, it will be still be good. Im not saying go with a 6262, but maybe a 5557 billet. But if your on a budget, I understand that too. Either way I'll do the $605 so let me know
