Done some more research the past weeks and I did find a pretty ok deal on a Garret bb turbo here in Sweden. Question is if it is a good one for my application.
It isnt called anything in particular other than garret GT30 with A/R .70
The guy who sells it claims it is a slightly smaller turbinehousing than the GT3071BB.
He did buy it from a tuningshop in Finland, custom assembled to be good for 400+hp and very fast spoolup for track racing.
It is new and unused. Could this Turbo work for my application? I am looking for 325-350 hp at the wheels.

Did also check out the engine compartment (visited the car in the winterstorage) and found out there are pretty much space. As I see it there are 2 possible locations for the turbo. (I would like to keep the heatshield for the battery).
First one is straight down beside the motor as inlinepro kits have the turbo. Second position is infront of the motor on the exhaust side. (longer exhaust piping)
What would be the best bet? I am not after a flashy installation, I just want it clean and functional.

Regards
