Re: Garret turbo bolt on?

Just avoid ancient technology and reject parts. Old tech is fine, but some of the shit people are trying to sell now for cheap is ancient technology. A VCR from 1979 will still work, but do you really want to spend 75% of the cost of a modern device for something designed on an abacus? The T04E wheels are popular and were the shit until the GT stuff started popping up. Even the T04E stuff is quite old really, but some of the earlier wheels that people are selling now for dirt cheap are straight out of the Korean war era and meant from shit like John Deere Tractors.

Just avoid turbos with any mention of the following terms: XS Power, SS Autochrome, Stone Mountain Racing, V-trim, H3, S3-trim, Super 60, 19c, 17c, EBay.

Be wary of the following terms, even though they might be a perfectly fine turbo, just do some research to make sure you aren't getting something that isn't the best fit for a DSM or made out of reject parts: T04B, 57-trim.
