    but be a beast and do a hybrid
    vj14 intake and vj11 hot....
    ive heard their pretty nasty.
    but if you do scrap that turbo lemme know.
    i want a vj11 hot side
    vj14/11 would be a down-grade on the probe/mx6 motors. if you put the vj14 cold side on that car you just gave yourself a turbo that flows less. i had a vj14 hot side with a vj11 cold side on my 323 gt (b6t)..i had the faster spool of the vj14 hotside with the higher flow of the vj11 cold. when you do it the other way around you have a turbo that does not spool as fast and flows less....thats a lose-lose situation

    some have....alot of 323 guys are finally manning up and running t3 or t3/t4's. if it were me i would upgrade to atleast a full t3...but in all honesty a 57 trim t3/t4 would rock your socks on any of these cars. if those tiny ihi turbos will get these cars in the low 14-high 13 range on basically stock cars, imagine what a manly turbo can do.
