slow4now Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 Depends on what you would be using it for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 well, its sold and gone, so i guess it dont matter. but for the sake of visual aid, that turbo has an internal waste gate smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20G TSi Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 you can get those t3's all day long at about half that price at your local junk yard. They used'em in lots of applications over the years. Look at some turbo thunderbirds, they use that same turbo (different trims for auto v's manual tranny though).

Guest kshymkiw83420 Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 Garret makes the Turbo's for SAAB. So more than likely it is a turbo ripped off of a SAAB. But i'm sure you could go to a junkyard find a SAAB 900 (i think this is where the T3 was used) and rip off the turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20G TSi Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 yup, the saab uses the T3 also. Like I said, there's alot of applications that use the T3. the turbo 'bird is probably the easiest to find. Get a manual, its got a better flowing wheel than the automatic w/ a T3.

Guest Computerguy5 Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 The intercooled SOHC turbo mopars use them too... the DOHC turbo mopars use the T4... And you can find turbo mopars all over the place. Oh, there is a Garrett VNT from a 1990 Intercooled Mopar on eBay right now. Cool turbos: no wastegate. They modify their spoolup propertys by varying the exhaust turbine blades. Therefore, they can make high amounts of boost without becoming winded AND they spool up pretty damn quick-like too. These are harder to find, but well worth it if you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Computerguy5 Posted September 30, 2002 Report Share Posted September 30, 2002 Oh, forgot to mention, I don't believe the new neons will have a VNT... I think they use just a T3 or a T4... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
integranator Posted September 30, 2002 Report Share Posted September 30, 2002 The Neons are going to be using a 16g turbo i believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
