well i have a friend who is selling a t4 turbo..i was j/w how reliable are these..and if i run this like usual...would i need to upgrade my fuel system and eveyrhtin else
t4 turbo?
- Thread starter FlipSupra8
- Start date
It wont fit on the stock manifold or downpipe or oil lines and so fourth. And do supporting fuel upgrades before this tubo is ever implimented on the motor.
Also a T4 is not a specific turbo - it's a flange style.
That could be any one of hundreds of different turbochargers, from too small, to too big and anywhere in between.
You need to do a lot of research before you head down this road.

T04E still only means its an open foot. on the compressor housing you will see A/R ____ . That is the trim size.

Considering all the work you'd have to do to get it to mount, I'd walk. There are a good number of turbo's that'll mount right up and likely be more reliable. You'll probably spend just as much getting it to mount if not more, than just buying one that'll mount right up! Just my .o2 
"you get what you pay for" yea...im not really looking to upgrade it...like kenny said...im gonna be paying alot more than i got it for...im just swapping my current turbo with a fresh ct26
You need to consider a lot more than what tiny description you provided. (Based off your post you are probably not ready for this upgrade)
BUT you'll need:
- Turbo manifold
- Injectors
- Fuel Pressure Regulator
- 255LPH Fuel Pump or better
- Is your engine sound? Depending on turbo, you may need upgraded internals
- If 7M, you'll need a MHG (Metal Head Gasket)
- Oil lines
- Downpipe/exhaust
- Clutch/transmission upgrade (MT/AT)
ETC.- Do your research.

There are really effective CT-26 based turbos out there that go really good!
...but you GOTTA have the supplemental stuff to make it do it well... and NOT blow your car up in the process.:nono:
G/L!
