cant find the right turbo?????

[yudkib]

the JB is a cheaper rebuild, but i thought the SR20 turbos had a different inlet, plus they have to be clocked, you have to mod your piping... so you have to spend $100 to get the turbo, $100 to rebuild it (do NOT install a used JB turbo without a rebuild), $25 on an inlet adapter... plus clock it, swap wastegates, mod your piping a little... so you're already halfway to a BB rebuild. the BB lasted 171k miles, the JB will not.

if you're doing a total switch to a t3 flange i would say get a JB. if you're upgrading turbos, i would say get JB. but if you have the shell and everything is in place as-is... if it ain't broke don't fix it.
JB is cheaper but now that CHRA's are in the ~450 range instead of the ~850 range, there just isn't the need to make the switch.

I got the ballbearing version. I thought it was worth it considering I got a great deal on it. As far as the wastegate all you need is a modified bracket from ATP and the inlet and outlet is $40 on ebay. None of my intercooler pipes have to be modified.

No I'm Naturally Aspirated, but the Evo turbo is twin scroll so you'd have boost from like 1.5krpms to red line

The compressor housing from your old BB turbo fits right on the Sr20 JB Turbo, no adapters necessary.

Good to know. Thankfully I went with the BB version of the sr20 turbo.

I went with a gtx 2867r witch is the 3071r but upgraded it has 11 fins the cold side and spools so fast its crazy. the gtx 2867r is the gt3071r but compact take look at *************.com he has some great prices I payed 1400 for the turbo shipped

Just had my Mazdaspeed Protege OEM turbo rebuilt, so it is rebuild-able.
