So as I just start finishing my turbo build I find a nice deal on CL. I currently have a Turbonetics T3/t04 with an upgraded 7 blade compressor wheel and a fresh rebuild. .48 A/R
Now I am not going for massive power here but 400-500 WHP at around 14psi. Well the turbo I found is a GT45 with literally no shaft play in good condition. Is this turbo too big for my goals? I feel like it may spool pretty high too but I've never had experience with them. Thanks

what manifold are you using? if you have a log mani, id look into upgrading to a tubular manifold first if thats the case.

I have a lovefab GT2. I still feel like the turbo will still be too beefy.

That's one pretty big turbo yes. Better get a GT35 I'd say

Isn't that a bottom mount manifold? Doubt you could fit a GT45 down there. Way too big of a turbo for your goals anyways though.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Yeah, I already had to take the factory oil cooler off just to fit the one I have on now... It was worth asking i guess as I could always change mani's but it's not worth the hassle.
Thanks for the responses guys

Gt45? I hope you realize that's a 1200hp+ turbo. This turbo should be on a drag only s2000 and there is no way in hell this will fit on a side mount. Also you said your setup is setup with a t3 flange. They don't make gt45 for t3. Sorry to say but you have no idea what your doing.

Lmao. It was a simple question don't have to be a d**k. Not impossible to get a different mounting plate for a manifold either bud.
