What would be the best 2nd hand Nissan or suitable bolt-on turbo as an upgrade for a mild modded R32? eg FMIC, 3" turboback. Estimated power?

I want it to remain responsive.

What other options for $1000-$1500

I'm thinking of a late R34GTT turbo if anyone has one but I'm open to other suggestions.

Apparently series2 R33s and most R34s have nylon compressor and ceramic exhaust wheels but I've read the very last R34s have alloy compressor and steel exhaust wheels.

Can anyone positively confirm or refute this?

I've been told late R34 GTT turbos have a steel turbine wheel instead of ceramic and are the pick of the OEM Nissan turbos for the R32.

thats an R33 and looks like steel to me.. just grab an s1.. they're much easier & cheaper to find than R34 turbos..

Otherwise you may be able to get a 2nd hand high-flow for the price you are looking... good for well over 200rwkw..

Only problem is the picture shown is the compressor, not the turbine. Turbine is the exhaust wheel, hence when they are ceramic they can fall off and end up in the exhaust/cat

Ive got an R33 T3 on mine, feels like this was the Turbo the RB20 was meant to have off the factory floor. Smoother, more powerful, more responsive. Cost me $350.00 for the Turbo and 2 days to install (I had to modify the oil return pipe to fit around the bigger turbo).
