a fellow client of My Mech has a Vert with a T66 less then 3 months of use
if that..
He wants to sell it and get a ball bearing turbo cause he says
he does not like the lag (doesnt spool till 3K)
It's a .81 undivided
He is willing to sell it to me for $900
Price sounds good
But would it be overkill?
I'm just wanting 400-450 RWHP
My Mods in process
are 88 street port
1600cc sec
SX FPR
Walbro 255
E6K
FMIC
stock turbo for now

T66 is a really nice turbo. i'm not sure how much they go for new. you can call turbonetics.... the only problem once you get everything you need to make that turbo work. it would have been cheaper and easier to get a turbo kit

I wonder why your friend had such a hard time spooling with a .81 undivided?...That's odd...It should spool VERY fast...unless it's a "q" trim wheel.
T-66 is PERFECT for 400-450 rwhp...
I'm shooting for 19 psi at around 500 rwhp...of course...I' still have to buy the T-66 :P

Yeah, you're probably making boost at around 2000-2500 RPM's, right?

its starts building boost around 2000-2500, by about 3000-3500 its at 3-5 psi. this is running untuned really rich and just the wastegate spring
