yeah i'm running there T04E external gate, which is exactly the same turbo as the internal gate. Have had no problems at all so far running at 18psi. If your not looking for mega horsepower then these are a perfect sized turbo for the 3.0L, mine starts to boost at around 2000rpm with full boost by 2500rpm. Obviously these arent as good as a geniune garrett, but for the price of them i cant fault them at all yet. Just stay well clear of the XS Power turbos, they are bad news.

Yeah the gate holds boost perfect now, had a few problems early days but that was a fault with the boost controller.

i recently picked up a t3\t4 internal gated it goes great on 15psi spools up quick like the t3's do but moor power oviously. i got a 12 month warranty with mine 2 but bewere the waranty wont cover the turbo if it has rock's and s hit stuck in the turbine but just run a filter anything else ur coverd. internal gated duz hold good boost but external would hold better up 2 the person
