Turbo ?'s
im thinking of buying a T3 garret turbo(saab) off a friend, but the turbo has a little shaft play and looks like its had lots of use.i have no idea how long its been used, all i know is my friend got it from dice auto and recently decided to not go turbo. i was wondering if anyone knew about any rebuild kits and where i could get them from or any places i could take it to.
i dont hear to many people recommending d series turbo, is there any specific reason or is it just a preference thing. how much boost could you run on stock internals? jus gettin info before jump in the water head first. constructive criticism is always welcome.

Re: Turbo ?'s
There are several companies that will rebuild the turbo. www.deadboltspeed.com, www.forcedperformance.com and others. As for turbocharging a D series, I have seen it done. I believe Edelbrock makes a complete kit for that engine. I don't recommend running more than 6 psi on stock internals though.

Re: Turbo ?'s
what are the pros and cons of running a custom turbo setup. if i do a custom setup what parts are a must, because i have heard that its not necessary to have a intercooler. basically i want so prevent detonation as much as possible. will there be problems since my motor is carburated and is there any local shops i could take it to get it rebuilt?
what kind of hp gains would i be lookin at in a TD04

Re: Turbo ?'s
My TD04 turbo was pretty nasty. I was pushin 11psi and hittin full boost at 2500rpms. The car got stolen before I could get it dynoed but she was definatley pretty quick.
