Hey Guys, does anyone know, or are able to help explain the driveability and performance differences between the T3 stock turbo and the T3/T4 turbo? I was told that if I went to the hybrid turbo, I'd lose my low end torque, which may be true, but then again, looking at my driving demands on the engine, I always wish that I had more oomph at the mid to top end when I'm trying to accelerate on the highway.
on 0-60 times which would be faster? On 60 to 100+ times I'm guessing the hybrid is the way to go, but would there be a noticeable difference on the 1st through 3rd gear driving (hard accelerating)
Lastly, is it a straight swap on the compressor and turbine housing or do you need to get a specific turbine compressor one piece unit? (I have a water cooled central housing).... and does anybody know if the swap parts are easily purchasable...... or anyone with one that will fit the 85 TE car exhaust housing (the turbo does NOT have an integral wastegate)
The reason I'm even thinking about this is that my engine is right now being built into a monster with an S4S head and all kinds of other max performance mods to the engine, and I was advised to keep the T3 turbo on it.
Thanks,
Paul
