John; I see that Performance Express in Phoenix has the Garrett T04 listed for $640.00, is this the one you are using? Not that expensive to add a little more oomph. JohnD
John,
There's a lot more to defining a T04 turbo than just the T04. There are
many choices of compressor trim, aspect ratio, bearing type etc. Mines a
T04-P50 with 0.96 AR wet housing and a big shaft bearing. The cheaper
and discounted ones you see on Ebay tend to be the more common setups
for cars and not at all what we need for aviation. Also, I've heard that
some of the ebay ones are poor quality knock offs. My turbo was only
$745 from agpturbo.com who are the distributors for Turbonetics, so $640
for the turbo isnt really that cheap. When you add in the flanges,
wastegate, boost controller and ceramic coating the total cost comes to
about $1450.
Regards,
John
