EOI Oldies turbo & manifold

I may be upgrading to a BB turbo and am considering selling my existing turbo and manifold.
The mani is custom steampipe with a 40mm gate all to suit a T3 split pulse /divided turbine housing.The turbo is basically a plain bearing GT35 size
The hotside is AR84 with a 60mm exducer
the turbo was put together by Lee Thomas and the compressor has a 61.4 mm inducer and is having new bearings fitted ATM
Hope to be able to get no 2 son to post pics next week
This combo has put out app 330 hp atw along with 585nm tq atw on a conservative Mainline dyno on an ultra safe 18 psi boost ( add 10% if it was a DD dyno)
Steve E was taken for a squirt recently so he may be willing to give his impression as to how this combo drives :)
When I removed the turbo I found that the boost control to the WG had come a bit too close to the dump so was not boosting the best when Steve was a passenger :( :shock: Normally breaks traction at 5000 in 2nd gear :D
PS IT was built for driveability and power under the curve so boost doesn't come on like switching on a light

I have a bb turbo that's to big for drift, I need a smaller rear housing to spool boost faster. I'm in a budjet, so what its worth and what I can afford are totally diffrent
Trying to work out if I should fit a smaller rear housing or whole new turbo set up

Do you have a ball park figure ?

Hope you all know my JB is a 2.3 twin cam stroker and not a single cam 2.0and does not get full boost below 5000rpm.
I had a GT3076 on my single cam IMHO that would be the largest I would recommend for them.
I like to use the 4500_7200rev range so if you like to be pinned to your seat at 2000rpms then say a Disco Potato is what you need
Mtec what are the specs of the BB turbo that you say is too big 4 drift??

Note the boost curve !! and the speed where the power is produced in 4th gear

That's a amazing set up.

That turbo is huge.

Mine is a Garrett, one size bigger than what's on a xr6

I'm looking for mid to high range boost, yours is far to big for me.
