i would find a T3 of an old Saab, and that way you wouls still have room for some more power.

hence the reason i need a rebuild kit. the turbo is in amazing condition considering its 16 yrs old. no bent or briken fins on either the turbine or the compresor and has very little shaft play.

Man that thing is bound to be worn out.
YOu're better off finding a newer Garrett GT-25 off an Gen 2 DSM. Those are pretty easy to find, and are good for up to 14psi.
Either that or pick up a 14B from a Gen 1 DSM.
More then enough airflow (~420cfm at 15psi) to make you happy!
The T25's are tiny!!! (~330cfm IIRC)
Now a pair of T25's on a Duratec though...

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

$80 on Ebay. Do it! I don't want to be the 3rd turbo Zetec on the boards, but the more the merrier.  BTW, for everyday driving, your TE04H will be a ton of fun. HTH, BP

again thank you buttonpuncher.
just for the record the turbo was free. i pulled it off myself. the van had been donated to my school and my teacher let me have the turbo. by the way, does anyone know where i can get a rebuild kit for the turbo there are a few on ebay but i want to try and find one locally (Louisville Ky.) or even nearby. i dont want to have it shipped to far. bad things can happen with the USPS.

Maybe a Dodge dealership? It doesn't hurt to call around.
If you don't live in an apartment, I wouldn't be too worried about USPS loosing it. Also, the parts are pretty indestructable.

Rebuilt turbnos don't usually fare well, because the shaft will bend when there is excessive play in the bearings, due to the extremely high rpms and corresponding centrifugal forces put onto the impellers. And once they bend they will wobble no matter if the bearings are new or old.
You're better off forgetting that old POS and getting a 14B or even a 16G off ebay.

#1 for Bendix Brakes Kits!
Knuckles rebuilt w/new bearings $55
AUSSIE ENDLINKS $70
Gutted pre-cats $80/set
A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine!

i work at a GM dealership and the parts guy called the local chrysler guys and they said that they dont even rebuild any of their turbos. they send them off to Daimler Chrysler and get remains.
ive had the turbo apart and looked at all the parts. the shaft is perfectly straight, at least as far as i could tell.
for the custom manifold i can get stainless exhaust tubing for cheap. 10 Ft of 2in tubeing for about $8. the only thing im worried about finding is the intake tubeing and the rebuild kit.
oh yeah quick question. what size intercooler will fit up front. i need to know so that i can get the right one. if no one knows off hand i can go do some measuring and find out.

i would not waste my time paying to have that turbo rebuilt and balanced by the time u do that u will have enough money in it to have just bought many other stock turbos in good condition. i would go with the suggestion from many others of the 14b from a 1g dsm or find a t3 from a saab,t-bird turbo coupe or mustang svo all good turbos with great efficiency for sub 14psi
