    noob question about garret t5

    currently have an 84 300zx turbo torn into little rusty pieces
    now re-assembling
    I can get a really good deal on a garrett t5 but I can find no info (need a comp map)
    if anyone has a map or a link to one I would greatly appreciate it

    17 years of big block power and one year of turbo z experiance
    not looking back
    thank you for any help and feel free to flame -- its my favorite part

    care to explain besides improper flange for stock manifold.
    Blitz BOV, Walbro 255, HX-35 (8psi), Tokcio blues and lowering springs.

    A t5? I'm thinking you must mean t3 or t4. To find a compressor map for it you'd need complete specs. Once you get those you might find the map here: http://www.mygen.com/users/dbruce/my…sor%20Maps.htm

    no---- it is a t5-- old turbo design but just rebuilt
    it was on a 455 buick centurion (not century)
    it was running 17 psi but the guy had me build him a high comp motor-so he won't be using it now
    don't know what it was for originally
    flange doesn't matter - i have already built front mount and manifolds
    just need to figure out my turbo before I make flanges
    thanks for the input guys

    never mind guys
    i got the actual part # and figured out that it is an air research/garrett t5 (t-5 is cast into the cold side housing)
    which is actually a small early t3 (not sure how they decided that)
    weird because i always assumed that since a t4 is bigger than a t3 than a t5 would be bigger than a t4

    thanks for the attemts to help on what ended up being a pointless question
