I have purchased one from GO-AUTOWORKS... he has the T3 setup as well if you aren't looking for the T25 (even though it's not on his website).

I have had great success with Mac @ Central Motive Power. They are my local dealer and have been nothing but helpful. Worth a call.

If you are talking about the "One6" shop in Illinois, stay far, FAR away from those thieving con-artists OP. Just like most of the shops in Chicago, they are a massive joke.

seems like most have them going for about 1100-1200, and most have them supplied from the same place, ATP.

I typically buy from evans tuning. I like the e-store set-up and it gives me control of choosing which housing and options I want.

One of the side effects of a lighter pocket is going faster.

It will produce more power without loosing response at the same boost levels. It is more efficient. Thats about it.

If you are shopping for a Disco Potato at least give it thought. I doubt you are buying a GT turbo due to your budgeting constraints anyways...

Put the two turbos against each other on their site. The GT is going to run out before the GTX. http://turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/turbochargers

to be completely honest, even the 1200 dollar tag on the potato is too much.
i originally wanted a 28R, the one Edelbrock uses, but was talked into the upgrade.

seems the GTX breathes better on top end. my plans is to have a driveable system, not a dynoqueen. i need midrange power, from a 1.6 litre.

Those were never a bad option. a lot of the Turbo Dodge crowd used those for their setups for 300whp and under applications. very affordable, rebuildable, compact, and usable. Honda guys with B-series VTEC heads always out flowed them, so it was tough to work with. But the d-series guys loved them.
