Hey Nez How u like the turbo kit. I am looking for one also and the BR 3065 is one of my options

WaxThis2005

My horsepower goal is 420 to the wheels. Any problems with the install. How is the kit. Does it include everything needed?

If your goals are to be running on pump gas most of the time than i would just get a 50 trim kit if i were you (more streetable) But if your looking at meth or running a lot of race gas then i would say get the 3065 b/c its a high boost turbo. I put down 415 on pump with the stock ECU so the power is there, i couldn't tell you spool up on a 2.0 but its fast as fu<k on my 2.3. You have to provide your on LICP unless you have a Buschur one. I also had to have Steve weld the o2 sensor bung in the o2 housing. I love the kit.

So I would make more power with 50trim. I want a ball bearing turbo. And im going to keep engine internals stock intill she blows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

depending on your mods/tune you can make more power on on pump gas, but its faster spooling.

I am going to run stock ECU and I have buschur stage 4

I dont want to run an any problems with the install. So there is some fabrications?

I would talk to Dryad and see what he thinks for sure. I have no experiance with this turbo on the 2.0.

I'll answer this in about an hour or so. I have to drop my sister off at the airport in a few minutes.

I highly highly doubt you would notice a difference from a thrust bearing to a ball bearing.

If all you want is 420 to the wheels the stock type turbos are your best bet. The 3065 is a completely different animal. Nez is right it is a high boost turbo. It's kinda doggy down low so in city driving you might be mad about the performance aspect. But once you add either racegas or meth to the equation it becomes a lot more fun. Sounds insane with an open intake, lots of top end, open wastegate is the shizzle.

You must also remember things wear out a lot faster with more power. Bearings, oil, brakes, clutches, t-cases, etc. So know what your getting yourself i nto before you buy it. Trust me you are going to break something when you move to the bigger turbos, I think thats why people are selling them off in the for sale forums like crazy. Look at TTP, he bent a rod on the stock turbo, snapped a ati dampner, blew a head gasket or something like that. And hes on a stock turbo, the larger ones will do it a lot quicker. Im suprised my motor lasted as long as it has. It's been through countless 30psi pulls, launches, races, tuning.

Ive been through 1 tranny, 1 t-case, 3 clutches, soon to be 1 motor...


I know a lot of people go into buying something bigger just because it produces numbers and dont think of the entire picture. I think me and Nez were number 3 and 4 with the 3065 kits. I cant speak for him but this is the turbo I wanted to run before it even came out.


Do what you feel is right, its your car. Good luck in your decision.
