Is there a different turbo that would be comparable with the II 62 phatshaft? Without the big pricetag?

I have the stock one on my 03
Is the stock a t3 or t4?

Thanks in advance
 
t3 is stock ehaxuast housing flange size

you can go with a box stock borg warner, but it will not have a wastegate housing and it will be a t4 flange
 
Check out D-Tech turbos, they make a 62/65/12 S300 for a good price. A 62/65 isn't gonna cool those 90hp injectors though, if that's what you're shooting for get a 64/71/14 aka super b special.
 
Phatshaft 62 is 62/65/12 or 62/65/14, the Super Phatshaft 62 is 62/71/14. I don't believe II makes a turbo with a 68mm turbine.
 
Just to clarify

I'm not really towing anything. Just daily driver

No drag racing

So I'm not to concerned with overheating

My seals are starting to leak so I was looking for a better one to replace it

i would stay away from the 62/65/12, very chokey turbo

i would run the 62/71/14

prices are all going to be comparable from htt, industrial etc

only way you can save is getting a box stock borg warner which is around 700, but they have a t4 foot and no wastegate which will need a t3-t4 adapter, then its up to you if you want to run an external wastegate or not
 
And would that make fuel milage worse or better? Just driving normal
 
if your not adding anymore fuel it wouldnt change

you may get better mileage if it will be actually using all the fuel with good air
 
your gonna have to let a common rail guy chime in

common rails do spool larger chargers easier
 
My BD Special is pretty good with the 100HP II nozzles

Would it take a lot of fuel to spool if you had a T4 manifold?
 
I ended up getting the II super phatshaft 62/80

Should be here anyday

And have a ATS manifold to change with it
 
got it today :evil

Super Phat shaft 62/71/14
