What do you guys think of this turbo:

Compressor Specs:
-GT35R 61mm compressor wheel
-0.70AR T04S compressor housing
- Flow Rate 65lb/min

Turbine Specifications:
-P Trim turbine wheel
-0.63 or 0.82 A/R. turbine housing available
-4 bolt standard turbine discharge

CHRA Specifications:
-360 degree thrust bearing standard.
-Oil cooled&lubricated center section.

Is it too much to start with on a stock 225 in an 87 D100 with a 833od and 3.55's. I also have a holley 650 DP with mechanical secondaries that I could use.

Have a chance to trade some work for this turbo,and thinking about going for it.

I just bought one very close to that and it should work well on a stock 225. Smaller than the T60-1 I have on the '68 Dart, which is a bit oversize for a street car. Make sure it is a name brand turbo and not a knockoff... It should have Garrett cast into the compressor and/or turbine housings.

I agree, a pretty good choice for a street build. I chose its big brother the GT40-82 out of a catalog based on its turbo map. When I opened the box, my first reaction was "What did I get myself into?" The turbo was the size of a basketball. A GT35 would be a saner choice - as Lou mentioned, though, there's a lot of knock-offs, so be sure you have the real deal.

Thanks guys, I will get with him and make sure its the real deal. He says its a honeywell/garrett from the 80's in good shape with no shaft play,but we shall see.

That's a bit of a red flag - I don't believe the GT35R was invented until the late '90s at the earliest!

I was thinking the same thing...

He bought it from someone else,so he might be mixed up. Maybe I should just walk away from this deal,as I have a pretty limited knowledge of turbos. The only turbo car I dealt with was my SRT-4 and I bought my 50 trim new,so there were no doubts to what it was.

If it doesn't have the little ID plate with model and serial numbers from Garrett, then be very careful. You should be able to look up those numbers online, which is what I did.

I wonder if it's just a Buick GN turbo? Internal wastegate? That would be a Garett from the late 80s. So much bull!@#$ out there...

I havent personally seen it yet,just going off of what he says. I want to make sure that it is what he thinks it is,because the amount of work I would be trading is HUGE. I will go over there and look at it,and report back.
