Yet another turbo choice thread - what is happening in the turbo market these days? OK, here we go, I'll try to keep this short: -I did my homework, albeit more than a year ago. -the turbo is going on a built RB31dett (forged, cams, etc). -having looked at compressor maps and similar builds on here, I am going for something with similar dimensions to a T88 -I have started collecting parts, including a good quality tubular high-mount manifold with a split-flange, merge-collected T4 and (TiAL) twin 38mm external wastegates. -Given how much I spent on my motor, cheap chinese turbos are out of the question. I want good VALUE, in terms of price per performance/durability. I understand I will have to pay for that. At that time, there were limitations in what features a T88 turbo could have. Few had ball bearings, none were water cooled, I don't recall seeing any billet compressors. My question is, which of the following features on my wish list can I now have in a reputable brand, and where is a good place to buy it: -T88 size -ball bearing -water cooled -billet turbo wheel -t4 split flange -(are there any other features I should be chasing)?
