• T2 vs T3 on a 1.9IDI by zagarus on 12 Nov, 2008 16:53
• So now that my rebuild is finally starting i just wanted to ask peoples thoughts on what would be best.  Currently the 1.9TD i have has a garrett T2 on it.  Now on my old 1.6TD i had a garrett T3.  MY question is which would be the better choice?  Would it all depend on if i want instant boost vs delayed but epic boost?  
  
  And which one would be able to handle 25psi the best?  
  
  Some insight from the gurus would be much appreciated

• I'm no guru but i'd go T3 with a big GTFO exhaust and downpipe. Instant and epic boost.

  Won't happen with a T3.
  
  At 25 pounds I would use the T3 unless you want to replace the T2 in a couple thousand kms
