i have a t3 (real garrett!) off an old dodge daytona in a junkyard (aka unknown history, but it seems to be good)

i also have a stock srt-4 turbofold that i also have a complete setup for (intercooler, piping, etc.)

the t3 i would need to get new or modify the srt-4 piping

so my question is, this...

for a temporary (until i can afford the turbo i want, should be later this summer) turbo, which would be better, an older t3, or a stock srt-4? or just wait until i have the money and get the one i really want the first time?

and before it gets asked, the engine is built for turbo, new crank, freshened block (bored, cleaned etc) eagle rods, je 8.5:1 pistons, crane nitrous grind cams (will switch to crane turbo grind either now or when i get other turbo)

 

If its just temporary, then go with the SRT turbo. No need to buy a custom manifold as it bolts right up to the DOHC head. It isn't the biggest turbo out there, but spools very quickly and is a nice addition to the DOHC engine in the 1st gen.

 

dumb question, but what does one need in order to put the SRT-4 turbo on an otherwise stock DOHC 2.0 5speed car? Will it overpower the clutch?

sorry for the hijack
