Ordered my turbo today! Went with the GT2871R with Vband clamped 3 inch downpipe. No gaskets to blow out! Also concidering a boost sensitive cut out for the downpipe. Sure would be nice to be able to have a straight pipe on command under booooost.

Nice turbo selection, keep us posted with the results Jarid. I am considering the GT25 series myself.

a good map on that turbo.. what numbers are you targeting..

Also... i noticed on your cardomain page... where did you get that half-shaft? and are you other 2 axels the same diameter??

Looking for 300whp. The driveshafts are from http://www.driveshaftshop.com . I no longer have a half shaft. I am running two shafts with a limited slip inbetween!! Amazing enough there is little or no torque steer!

Nice choice , If I had visited the site more I would have posted this earlier I would have went with the GT28 or a turbo that you guys looked right past (and I dont know why they don't use this more often on low boost v6's .) The T3/t4 To4b A little smaller than the to4e but still puts out good numbers for a good price , A low budget substitute to the GT series, but of course the savings does sacrafice performance , Ball bearing turbos are Niiicccee
