I just replaced mine with a Garrett 50 trim stage 3 with .063 AR. I purchased it from Peak Boost and paid $680. It bolted right up with ease and will work with the stock Turbonetics map.

We carry a full array of turbos from Garrett, Precision, Turbonetics, Innovative and our own Dezod blended turbos. Let me know, we have made plenty of drop in units for t-netics fellas.

Most any turbo with a 5 bolt discharge and t3 flange will bolt up with little work. Make sure you get the 5 bolt discharge, most companies sell the 4 bolt.

garrett, precision, innovative or a better turbonetics turbo.. as mentioned t3 flanged to mate up with your manifold and 5 bolt discharge housing to match with your downpipe.. those brands are the best imo

now the questions are
1. Power goals and boost level?
2. Use? drag racing, autocross, time attack, or street racing FTL lol
3. budget

I was worried about purchasing another turbonetics turbo because i hear the seals blow easily, how would this turbo hold up to 300hp paul ? also is this a reliable turbo if you had any experience with it. so i just buy this turbo bolt it on and im ready to go , i dont have to buy any accessories to get it to fit on the turbonetcis kit , sorry for all the questions just want to be 100 % sure. thanks again for the help. I was also woundering paul if you guys do turbo repairs there i have the turbonetics t3/t4 turbo that came with the kit and the guy who i bought the kit from said the seals are blown , would you suggest on buying this precision turbo or getting this one repaired ?

Precision uses all Garrett technology, and they have a kick ___ warranty to boot. Honestly, you can repair the seals, but it can happen all over again....There is a reason why we stopped using Turbonetics turbos on our kits. We where servicing more units than we where selling at one point.

You will need some silicone elbow as well because the Turbonetics has a 90 degree elbow on the end of the turbo. That will be about it

You can have your turbo rebuilt by Turbonetics and also have them upgrade the center cartridge to water cooled. They also sell a water line kit. This solution seems to be working well for people. If you do get a new turbo get one that is water and oil cooled if you want to avoid problems as much as possible.
