I just "happened" upon an internet buddy of mine who is going to remove a T04-13G from his mitsubishi and replace it with another, larger, turbo... I have an option on the running, working turbo he is going to remove, and when I asked him about the compressor map on it, he pointed me to this site ( http://www.stealth316.com/2-3s-compflowmaps.htm ).
 
I haven't even finished reading on it (the page) just yet, but it appears to have some good data, and wanted to share it with the group. It really seems to help break it down with regards to "conversion factors" for people who havent dealt with college level physics in 14 years (like me). I have yet to determine if this turbo will be acceptable/comparable for use on the 13B 2nd gen just yet but we will see.
 
More to follow..

Sorta good news from Oz.

I just spoke to Max and he PROMISED to get around to shipping my turbo tomorrow.

He's actually a great guy to chat with. I think he's just very busy, which isn't surprising considering his prices.

 

I asked him if there was a compressor map for the modified turbo, and he said its the same as a T04-V2 as shown on http://turbonectics.com 

 

Can someone explain how to navigate a compressor map in three sentences?
