hey all iv got a 13b turbo i just needed to no some things about it wat size are they?? are thes turbo's a good upgrade from a stock t3 on a vl turbo/is it worth it?? anyone one here using one of them?? how far can they be pushed?? cheers

they are a good turbo but u will find that it woudl cost too much to get it going on a VL, thats if it would even work the rear housings are too big

yeah rotorie turbos are good but they might need too do a bit welding of the manifold and not just anyone can weld them coz they crack

just get the t3 highflowed much easier and vlaue for money

My last Hiflow was based on the 13B Turbo core. It retained the 13B rear wheel aswell but had a VG30 T3 rear hsng machined to suit, im not sure if the 13BT exhaust hsng will bolt up the VL manifold?... and they are not too big for a VL by any means.

i was going to say.. standard turbo for a 13b is relatively small..

The rear wheel is large in comparison to a stock VLT3...

im preety sure they bolt on to standard manifold not 100% tho dont hold me too it..does any one no wat size they are at all?? are thy jst a t3 with a big rear housing??

They don't bolts straight on if its a series 4 13B turbo then it has a staggered hole. Series 5 13B turbo's have twin wastegate flaps and have a different bolt pattern again. The rear wheel is bigger than a VL but the front wheel is smaller.

lag monster ask aero_cal_3ltr he used one and the manifold had to be welded for it to fit and it had a very ugly power delivery i didnt like it at all...

That would explain why they used the VG30 rear hsng on mine...and went to a T04B front comp and H-trim wheel... Doesnt sound much like the stock units are very good at all unless you change the front aswell.

so no one knows wat size they are at all???

Who cares about size they will not bolt up to your stock manifold and from what Stone Racing said, the factory combo of small front and large rear made for lots of lag on the RB30.....Get one built like my old one or find a cheap VG30 roller if you must.
