Maybe a turbonetics cast CT26 housing allowing the use of a Garrett cartridge?

Appears to be a to4 with an exhaust housing with a ct26 foot print.

Also appears to be either a 60 trim or larger compressor wheel.

For $400, you should be good to go as long as there isn't tons of shaft play.

 

[Blackmk3]

He says theres mimimal shaft play, with the compressor trim being very large does that mean its going to have a short life span? smash the little ct26 shaft?

You say to4 is that a to4 exaust wheel? or a ct26 stock wheel

sorry for the questions but i thaught you guys would be in the know to ask about questions like this thanks

the turbonetics ct upgrades go for $800-$900. If its the 62, they upgrade to a bigger compressor housing. I saw one on the net, I'll see if I can find it.

this one seems to be the stage 3 from the info youve given, thanks heaps for that buy the way

good turbos?

 

[MDCmotorsports]

Yes its a good turbo. Easy to rebuild too since its a to4 center section.

There are no ct26 parts on that turbo you have pictured.

i think i might have to go buy buy buy :icon_bigg

thanks heaps for the help guys

 

[Blackmk3]

Well ive purchuased the turbo now and im pretty happy with it no shaft play at all :icon_bigg . one issue i have with it is the previous owner custom made all his oil and water lines, with the oil lines there was no restrictor in the line just a 3/8 hose from the feed to the turbo...would of this forced to much oil into the turbo and possible blown out the seals? it doesnt seem to have a restrictor in the oil feed in the turbo casting

i pulled off my factory CT26 and couldnt see a restrictor in the oil line there :icon_conf , where is the factory oil restrictor? does the ct26 have one?


Thanks heaps
Nick
