Ask for prices for the entire GT28 range. Including the differnt exhaust housing options.
Garrett don't do the T3 any more, but do ball bearing cores to retrofit old ones.

*edit*
The old T2860 is now called a GT2560, so ask for a price on that one too.

I may have a turbo motor for sale in around 3-4 weeks. Just bought a swb GU, but if its too gutless, I may be looking at bolting it in that :roll:

(thats why its going to take 3-4 weeks to decide)

Just got the motor back from Auckland on Sunday, but bought a GU shape swb tonight, so going to see how the new wagon drives before deciding whether I can justify the extra expense of doing a transplant on it. Complete motor, turbo/manifold done 2000kms, motor 200k

Its a "safari" brand manifold,custom T3/T4 turbo from memory. GQTROL test drove it for me before I purchased it, and said it performed well, not smoke or heating issues.

we have gone with a ht 18 turbo from a late mazda rx7 and we are using a water to air intercooler.
