ok well iright now im leaning towards a garrett t3/t04e but ive been looking at the turbonetics line and the t3/t4's look nice....question is when i go to their pricing list i see stg's I-V......heres an example: t3/t4e-50 stg.2.63 now imj guessing the 50 is the trim and the .63 is refering to the turbine section?....just wondering if anyone knows anything about this since their price list has me confused

NJHK

I believe the way they have it listed in stages is for the turbine wheels.

mike25

whats the difference between the stages?

NJHK

I don't want to give you the wrong impression so I'm not going to assume anymore. I'd go on their websites or try comparing each individual stages.

mike25

thats the problem....they dont say anything about the difference in the stages....at least not that i could find...

Yeah their web sight is kind of misleading. I was having trouble understanding them as well. The .63 refers to the AR. not the trim.

I'm going the Garret you mentioned personally. I know a sight that sells them for 575 shipped.

Go with Garrett its sick, but on the other hand thats the only one I've tried...

mike25

are you talking about the garrett t3/t04e maxim?....you also williet

NJHK

hey mike,

I was looking at their site and I've come to the conclusion

The lower stages have a smaller a/r exhaust housing
As the stages progress, either they change the a/r on the exhaust housing or they change the size of the compressor wheel.

mike25

ok.....that would make sense....lol i dont know why they couldnt make i less confusing though

It's not confusing at all. All you need to know is that higher stage = bigger wheel and slower spool (but more potential power). They have a quick reference chart on their website... or you can actually call their support line and they'll work with you to pick an EXACT turbo for your desired setup.

NJHK

It wasn't that confussing. I just looked at the specs on each "staged" turbo to see what it said.

mike25

yea it wasnt too confusing but i myself as you very well know dont know much about turbos

NJHK

Understood.
