No I don't have it, but from what people said, Mitsu turbos (Eclipse) are good for a junkyard turbo.

45 trim t3 here, off a saab 9000. holds boost nice and strong.. well without the leaks it does, hehehe I lose about 1psi over the full RPM range.. but I dont drop below 16 psi of vacume I am leaking that much.. so I think the turbo is doin great

[mikespeed95]

how much boost are you running and what are you putting down? also im not familiar with that car, or saab turbos. got a link so i konw what to look for at the yards?

im scavenging the junkyards the next couple days and just tryign to see what works/doesnt and what to expect out of what from people with 1st hand experience.

I got mine off ebay for cheap. I dont know what you are lookin for, for the car, but its 45 trim compressor 0.42 AR and a 69 trim turbine with a 0.48 AR. A friend was helping me with the compressor maps and it should be good for 20psi at about 70%

my first dyno run was at 6 psi and I put down 213wrhp 226ftlbs with a stock exhaust, and SMIC.. that was almost a year agow...

I cant seem to find a pic of just the turbo. it looks very much like a turbo, doesnt have any weird flanges or anything like that, alot like the z31 turbo

i was just curious what the car looked like /turbo badges etc so i could know what to look for in a junkyard.

.42/.48 sound like a ford t3, not too sure about the trims though. Ford 2.3 turbos had the .42/48 and the .60/.63. It will say the a/r #'s on the casting.

Have you been by KA-T.org, yet? There are a lot of people on that board that have running KA-T's. Some of them, I'm sure, must be using a small~ish turbo that could give you some feedback.
