I have developed a more elaborate turbo kit which uses a Garrett dual ball bearing turbo, the second kit is nearly complete (for my car) and I will have pictures of it in the next few weeks......

where did you find the revhard kit for sale?

The reason companies don't develope a kit for a GT series turbo is because the market will be much slimmer for it. The turbo alone is going to cost upwards of $1200 to $1500. That $5000 turbo kit just became a $6000+ turbo kit. Why not just buy an upgraded ballbearing center section yourself? It may be cheaper that way.

I am heading down to Speedcraft next week to get my engine tuned, so I can assure you they are not out of business.

Speedcraft is not out of business. I believe it was reformed, but I may be wrong. It is operating today under the name Speedcraft Industries.

Because the GT35/40 is a custom turbo with a custom compressor and hotside. Its got a smaller exhaust housing and wheel so it spools up damn fast, and produces much more power than a smaller turbo.

Don't know how the size compares with a T3/T4, but its pretty big.

CJB, which turbo are you going to be using?

GT30 with larger compressor wheel by default, or any GT30, 35, or 40 (special order).

How does the GT30 compare in size to the T3/T4?
