those are way to big, you wouldnt be able to spool either of them. maybe the first one, but i seriously doubt it and the second one there is no way. go for a .48/.42 garrett/airresearch t3, not much lag and it's a very streetable turbo.

all u need is a like 50 trim or gt28r(s)

I wouldn't say the first one is way too big. It's only a 46trim but the 2nd one is definately too big.

a t25 DSM tuyrbo will get you to 200whp easy.
you dont need a t3/t4 for only 200hp.

find a Gt25 or Gt28.


or a standard T3. its not hard to get 200hp.

you want to look at the a/r not the trim

I dont trust ebay turbos, personally, but then again Ive delt with too many scam artists and s**t bags to count.

FInd a junkyard, find the DSM section or Mazda or VW or Mercedes or industrial trucks (Izuzu are GREAT) and pull one of them snails off for 25-75. Youll know if the turbo is seized and if it needs a rebuild before you pay for it, and a $75 rebuild kit with a $25-75 turbo far surpasses a potentially s**t turbo.

For a D, I recommend: 14b, t3 .42/.48... IHI turbos are VERY good too as most if not all of them are oil/water cooled (meaning way more reliable).

But hey, if you got the funds and desires to build a kit for more than $600, thats your call and more power to you.
