A bolt on 50-trim or a T3 framed 50-trim.

A "t3/t4" means T3 hot-side, T4 cold side.

So the question is do you want a bolt-on 50-trim that will bolt onto your DSM without modifications, or do you want a T3 framed 50-trim that will need a T3 turbo manifold.

EBAY!!! LOL, J/K... well, unless you find a decent brand. Master Poewr makes some pretty decent turbos but I don't know what there selection is like now days.
I purchased a pair of their T70's a few years back for my Trans Am but then called off that build and sold them to some guy with a 60Xcu.in chevy who has been running them since I sold them (in like 2007) and as far as I know they are still going strong.


Otherwise I think ImportEvolution on here could probably help you out, and of course Trevor (TAB Fabrication)

He's looking for used though.

What exactly is your price range. New PTE or Turbonetics turbos go for aroun 750-800 depending on options. That is a journal bearing. You don't NEED Ball bearing with a 50-trim. It will spool decent, specially in T3 frame.

Just check the DSM classifieds, or ebay. Just don't buy an ebay BRAND turbo.
