First off I am not very familiar with forced induction and this will be the first car I have worked on with a turbo so please excuse my newbness. I have the NPG kit but still need a turbo for it. I have been reading around and looking at turbos for sale but all the specs are just confusing the crap out of me. So my question is what size turbo/specs would be ideal for the NPG kit on a 3L? So far I have come up with a Garrett T3/T4 60 trim. Just looking for what everyone else is running and/or suggestions.

That should be fine. My Dad and I are both running a Precision Turbo 60trim.

Yup, what bhiggs said. For the turbine housing, you can go with either a .63 AR or .82 AR I think. THe .63 will spool a little quicker and at lower rpm, but will start to choke things off a little at high rpm. The .82 will be a little smoother on power delivery because it will be a little softer on the turbo spool-up. Either one would work well, it just depends on what you want.

thats actually what i came up with as well when i bought my turbo. I have a garret 60 trim with 63.ar exhaust housing. Tried to find one with a .82ar but got this one for a better deal. Just so much work left to finish my project. Wish someone had some cheap hot pipes and i would mostly be ready to go. </sob story>
Haha I like how we are opposite. I have everything but the turbo, oil lines, boost air/fuel oil psi gauges, MAF, injectors, fuel pump, and I would like a turbo blanket. I did just find a garrett 60 trim .63 AR locally used for 5k miles for only $350 which is a pretty good deal, but I feel like I should just buy one new with a warranty and exactly what I want. But I need to make some more cash.... sob story..... maybe tax returns will help
