New TURBO what do you think?

so are we all cooled down now ? come on if youve had that much experiance with ar what would you compare this .82 t3 to. it looks small to me but the last turbo i had in my hands was my precisioon gt88
 
You have to know people....and burning said people when they say something a little dumb helps!

I once took a turbo comp cover machined it out for a 72mm wheel on a manual lathe, then took a drill bit and enlarger the hole through the comp wheel so it would fit the shaft of the turbo I had on my truck...removed the compressor side with the turbo still mounted on the truck and installed the biotched parts and tightened the shaft nut with a 3/8" impact gun and drove the truck for a week (approx 300 miles)...the turbo is still in one piece and now resides on the shelf as a dust collector and reminder of the wonder of not knowing when the thing will blow. LOL

Yes i remeber but there was conflicting info between several posters and was HOPING it was a simple mathematical equation that i could do myself .. but it obviously isnt that easy this housing doesnt look as big as my 12 on my truck now so i figured it couldnt be bigger than a 14 thats why im so confused

Scary, very scary. My butt would pucker every time I touched the throttle.
