why not twin turbo......or does that mean twice the price?
i wanted to go twin turbo but it is more expensive and the manifold for it is expensive aswelll
i picked up a single turbo manifold yesterday for $250 so im going single now lol

I've got a mate with a manual and a real gt35 + 1.06 rear - he's got a different cam than stock, but generally it's all in 12psi by about 3500-4000rpm - depending on gear etc.
He's got 4.11's in the rear and a t5 which don't seem to load it up enough until at least 2nd to hit full boost properly - having said that a sidestep of the right foot brings it on song right away.
As for your turbo choice:
- what are you going to use the car for? - a turbo that will be optimal for drag racing might be completely useless on the street....
- how much boost do/will you want to run? - if you don't plan on changing the auto or building the motor, it's probably a bit useless getting a turbo suited to 30psi, if you know what I mean?
- is it auto? are you happy to run a stall converter?
- what's your budget?
- does it need an internal gate? or do you have any size constraints or anything?
-i want to use the car for street use but mainly aim at getting a good quarter mile time
- my auto is already built up stage 3 fully manulised made to take over 300rwkw+
-mine engine is slightly above stock has been built from scratch from sre engines has 212 cam @ 50 thou 9.0.1 ( is all that i can remember of the top of my head) compression before i put the 75 thou mls head gaskets should be able to take 12psi reliably as the person who made the engine said will take 10 no worries
-i dont have a hi stall yet but am happy to get one right after i get the turbo setup accomplished
-my budgets 5grand
the manifold i picked up was off a setup that had an internal gated gt30 so there is no external wastegate area to bolt on up, mite get the exhuast shop to modify it, no size constraints that i know off the manifold will take all t3 t4 and gt turbos
what i need advice is on the right turbo for me which i admit i dont know too much on, ive been reading up on gt35 vs t04z which really cant be compared as there both different sizes i just wanted to know if my commodore could handle a t04z but if its going to be **** on the street then i will go for a gt35, on street commodores in the v6 turbo forum they recomended t04z turbos for stock engines that have cams or pistons or head work done to them, i havent seen a vr v6 with a t04z on it so i was wanting to get a rough idea from people experienced with turbos
