if you arent trying to make stupid crazy hp any time soon, the CT26 should suffice till you really want to get a t4. and t4 is very expensive conversion IIRC.

umm have you ever tried boosting a mitsubishi factory turbo on a DSM from the same era as the mark 3? If the turbo doesnt fail, the drivetrain will!

yea the drivetrain will but that has nothing to do with the internals of the 14b and t25. 14b is a strong healthy turbo the t25 is a garrett turbo from the factory. the CT26 is garbage imho

Okay. The t4 is winning so far. Anybody know of any good info for putting them on such as what I need? New oil lines, new return possibly, new manifold or adapter (which one is better). Thanks guys in advance.

Get in touch with Jon / MDC Motorsports. I bought my T4 set up from him & I say that not having him supply your needs would be foolish. Service, value & kick ass quality are his trademarks.

I am not totally sure which one it is. It is used and will need an external gate.

You can post pics and we'll help you identify it. Usually there are the usual markings on the compressor and turbine housing. Then you can pull the compressor housing and measure the inducer & exducer of the compressor wheel. I would like to know what kind of T4 you have just in case you want to sell it. :icon_bigg
