I've been offered the following turbo for cheap, (£60) its used but with no shafyt play etc and is in excellent condition. (yes its xspower butits going cheap ;) )

Model: T04E "P" Trim
Compresser: AR .50
Exhaust: AR .84
76 trim T350 turbine wheel (stage 5)
T04E housing 2.5" inlet 2.5" outlet
56 trim GT40 compressor wheel 2.41/3.22 (61mm inducer) and flow 65lb/min
Divided Turbo Flange

The turbo would be for a low boost, stock internal everyday driver, around the 220 pony mark.
Bargain or not and is it any good for what i want ?

It will work, but would be more well suited for high boost. for daily driving and whatnot, you want a slightly smaller turbo.

I only say that b/c on daily driving your probaly not gona be seeing over 5000rpm too often, and thats about where that turbo is gona spool.

5k spool is being generous. More like 5500+ find another turbo IMO.

With that turbo, you'd be below the compressor surge limit on your motor... Way too big!

Thanks for that guys, thought it was a little large, was previously used on a 200sx, i can get a smaller T3 turbo .42/.48 trim off a volvo 740 for the same price.

The vulva turbo would be a better choice. More fun

I like the vulva turbo too, i find it fun also. I think i may combine these with my viagra pistons or nipple pistons. I hear its an awsome combination ;)
