Was talking to TheShodan on H-T about a turbo. Its exactly what im looking for. Needs to be a t3 flange, with a garrett 4 bolt (what my mani and DP are made for). I was originally going to get your average t3/t04e 57trim .63 OR .48 ar but could not decide. I wanted decent spool time and a good powerband hitting 250-300whp. I can get those turbos for $550-575 shipped.

TheShodan will build me a Gt3251 with Borg Warner housings, forget the specs on everything on, but full spool 4k and not crap out in the higher RPM. Also showed me a dyno of another LS running a very similar turbo to what he would build me making 253whp at 8psi with a 2.5'' exhaust and bad cat. The cost of that is $785 and another $100 if i want the housings coated.

Any opinions?

Cliff notes:
$550 for average t3/t4, little slower spool and higher PSI to make power
$785 for gt32 good spool, lower PSI, but $235 more expensive...$235 that can go towards my thermal 3'' exhaust
