I wanna start keeping an eye out for a turbo over the next year or so. Sorta thinking about buying a used turbo off another motor and probably rebuilding. This way I get a good brand with rebuild support. I'm kinda over worked right now so I can't do all my own research, so I'm tapping your brains;

Suggestions on a used item? Formated something like this; A big 16g TD05H from a xxxxx, xxxx, 19xx to 19xx, would start to spool around xxxx and give a maximum power around xxx and safe boost levels of xx.

I know I'm asking a lot, but a lot of you guys are far more turbo savvy then I.

Basically a stock FJ20 with wisecos, about 8:1 and forged rods. Ecu is mega squirt and injectors aren't chosen. Will intercool and gas is 93 oct wit 10% ethanol - straight from the pump. stock cams at stock fj20et degree. Will build own exhaust manny so flange is not an issue.

I choose for FJ in S12 body, biggest T3/T4 from rally Eskort Cosworth.  Because I got good deal :). I like GT28 disk potato on SR20DET for supper fast spooling.
It depends for what you going use you car and power you want get.

Thanks Eli.

How ya been VG? How are things down in Zebulon?

I ordered the chains, and the ratchet tensioner. The block and crank are done; my dad is supposed to go get it tomorrow cause I can't leave work. I got dental work to be done, so after I pay for that; I might be able to order the wisecos this weekend. And the rods in the near future.
