My friend James has two Garrett T3 Turbos, one new and one rebuilt, with blow off vavles for $500.00. Or less. He said he just wants to get rid of them. I was promised a turbo last time but it got ran over.

I might just buy one. I don't know. I know I'll have to run under 10psi with the stock pistons but what else will I need. How should I run the headers, downpipe, exhaust system.

Need alot of help.

(By the way, '98 3.8L V6 5spd.)

I'm not gonna be much help on this one...I'm gonna let the turbo guys work on this.

Someone told me you can get them for like 100 bucks on ebay. So he IS gonna go down on the price.

There's a book called Maximum Boost, by Corkey Bell. It's quite possibly the most informative book you'll ever read. In fact, read it twice. Just buying a turbo your buddy has is not a good idea. You really need to properly size the compressor and exhaust housings for your application.

Well, I figure if i can get it for $100 bucks, the new one, and if doesn't work out, I can sell it and try again.

Think I found what you were talking about. The Turbomustangs.com Turbo Bible:

That's a good website. The book goes a little deeper into some subjects than what's on the website. The book also talks about superchargers too. It's worth the money IMHO.

I talked to him more about it today at lunch. He said they were for a Z.

We talked about putting one on his car first, and if it works, just swap it to mine.
