FS: Garrett TO4E Dual Ball Bearing Turbo
This is a dual ball bearing Garrett TO4E Turbo. it's a 50 trim compressor with a stage III turbine inside a Turbonetics replica #8 turbine housing that bolts to the factory crossover and downpipe.. The compressor housing is the standard TO4E 3" inlet and 2" outlet.
The bearing center was just sent to a Garrett authorized performance dealer where everything was checked out, re-sealed and re-balanced and it has 0 hrs on it.
Included is a braided -an oil feed line and adapter to connect to the balance shaft cover, a custom water pipe, adapters for the water connections and a low profile thermoswitch. With this waterpipe and adapters, you can run a standard thermoswitch if you prefer since this setup puts the switch out from under the throttle body/intake. The down pipe is also included and has all good studs that have been replaced as well as copper exhaust nuts. I will also throw in an alternator cooling shroud that has had the hump removed and epoxied over.
Asking $1000 shipped to the lower 48

Thanks Guys!
For the most part, yes. The turbo bolts to the stock mount and exhaust. You'll have to clock both the hot and cold sides when installed and tighten them down just like with any other turbo. The water hoses just connect up. The water temp sensor I am using requires a ring terminal instead of a female bullet or run your temp sensor. You'll have to either modify the spring return on your throttle body or some people file away at the compressor bolt cover bolt hump where it hits the throttle return spring bracket. I just modified the return spring bracket which is easy to do (see photo). You have to deal with the 3" inlet. The cooling duct shown helps with this a lot, the it's still tight fit with a factory alternator and mount and a 3" inlet, but everyone deals with it. The oil line just replaces the factory one. And obviously you'll have to provide the fuel and tuning to go with this type of upgrade.
Bracket gets a 90 degree bend in it, a hole for the throttle body bolt to go to and the end cut/filed to match where it meets the throttle body barrel.

How much power does this turbo make for the average 951? I'm looking to upgrade, and I already have a full catless exhaust, and some other small upgrades; I'm curious as to what this turbo is capable of.

since no one else has chimed in. It is good for around 400 hp or a little more depending on fuel and boost level. this is 350 hp plotted

It spools very fast for a larger than stock Turbo. I was right at 15 psi at 3k with it. Once boost starts coming on it comes on quick. Nize did a huge review and a lot of data logs for his same turbo.

As a bolt on turbo, IMO this is probably the best unit available. The HS is large enough to not be a restriction (lower crossover pressure) and with the DBB it is a nice compromise for a larger turbo. I remember that write up. Very impressive.
