Looks like I'm getting a TII Garret

What is the max boost on these things?
Anyone just running the oil line for these?
I plan on putting on a 3 inch swing and dp.

Can anyone give me their experiences with these turbos and TU's upgrade options like quick spool and turbine clipping?

Don't touch the wheels, you could run only the oil line but why?

Max boost would be 20-25 psi depending on setup.

If your buying a new/rebuilt one from TU, get an S60 instead.

This is a used one from a board member that looks to be in great condition. Is it already too small for what I want to do? Eventually I will have that shadow running 25-30psi:) althought 15 is plenty quick.

if youre looking at running 30lbs of boost finding a cheap turbo is the least of your worries. That build is going to get a lot more expensive.

I've had two turbos from TU fail within one year. I was running 18/20lbs of boost. I was using a TII turbo with quick spool option.

First turbo only had three months on the rebuild. It blew up about 5 miles from the track. It took them several months to rebuild it. I got that turbo back on thanksgiving eve. Nothing like spending quality time with my car instead of my family.

That rebuild lasted 364 days. It started smoking two days before thanksgiving. I upgraded to a super60 when the TII turbo couldn't make more then 14lbs of boost. The turbo is pretty much useless now. The shaft moves all around short of being able to pull it out of the turbo.

The good news, he backed up his warranty the first time. The second time, I gave up. I couldn't afford to be without my car another two months waiting on TU.
