I am in the market looking for a turbo for my 500BHP ( more or less ) CA18DET project. I have been looking at Garrett´s GT3076R ballbearing turbo but I have learned there is a "fake" and a "real" GT3076R.
As far as I have heard, the difference between the two turbos is that the "real" 3076 has got anti-surge and different compressor/turbine wheels.
I am sure the "real" 3076 would be best for my engine but unfortunately I don´t have that kind of money right now. The "fake" 3076 is almost half price in Denmark but how would it do on a small engine like mine, compared to the "real" 3076???
Which turbo would you guys use on a project like mine???
If you have some ideas I can use for my project, things I might have overlooked or something I should do different I will be glad to hear about it.
