You can try to search the classified sections of these forums if you HAVE to have a GN turbo. I've been told the GN turbo might be a touch too small, so, you can't go wrong getting something aftermarket that is 'bigger'. Those Buick forums may teach you some stuff too. Just throwing it out there. I didn't look at this link you posted (at work, not a ton of time), but if it's for a Honda, it may be too small. It's not as simple as just saying, 'here is my motor size, what turbo do I need'. You'll find that out and you'll have a better understanding when you do. I've done a LOT of reading and I'm no expert by any means.

Thanks Hank! Now I have to see if I can lurk and buy without a buick in my possession.

I wasnt going in the right direction with the sellers on turbobuick so I went and got these off ebay.

I am not too sure if that turbo is too small also for your application.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/T3-T4-Turbocharg...d-/271104922349

What are the specs on the turbine wheel?

.50 compressor housing is pretty small.

Thinking that turbo is mainly for a 4 cyl engine.

I havent taken the turbo apart yet, just looked it over to ensure thwere wasnt any obvious flaws with it. Everything seems to be solid. If the compressor trim is .57, that should make the exducer just over 79mm diameter.

The import tuner forums are borderline hate-crime on ebay bought knock off turbo's. I had to bail out before I joined them.

Whether she's too small, or too ebay, I am excited to say the least and cant wait to see what she'll do.

If there is total carnage at spool up, I'll make sure to post the train wreck for all to marvel.

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!!
