Well whatever you do don't half *** the fuel management and tuning because b18c1's are spendy.

Just get a t3 turbo, it's easier to find and easier to upgrade later (t3 flange). The t-25 is a joke, my talon drops boost after 6k.

I just got two nice T3s from the junkyard. one was from an 84 volvo 240 nonintercooled- Garrett oil only center section .63 A/r turbine and .42 A/R compressor.
The other was an early 90s saab 9000 it was also a garett T3 with a .48 A/R turbine and a .42 Compressor. The volvo one was a recent rebuilt and the saab one has perfect ammount of shaft play. I don't know how big the wheels are in these. I would guess 45 or 50trim.

I salvaged a T3 from a 89 chrysler New Yorker Turbo Coupe. Thing is this car came with both mitsubishi and garret turbos, so not all will have the T3. Im not sure what model mitsu turbo was used tho.

That is one of the worste prics i have ever heard for a junkyard T3!

I pay $25 each (which i realize is pretty low) i woulden't even consider it for more than $100. There are a lot of these out there I can't see paying that much at all. That is probably a .48 turbine and .42 compressor BTW

i'm surprised more people don't get into the JY turbo stuff. It's really inexpensive if you do your research. wish more people would join the discussion i really like learning about these.
