Garret doesnt make a T70 so it is likely a T04e.
T70 is either masterpower or ebay junk.

didnt garrett do a proper T70 or T72 or something?
T04e arent a bad turbo, they come in a million different combos though, so just need to get the best wheel sizes to suit the build

Stathi knows what hes talking about man. listen to what he tells you and you will make the power you want.
Standard fuel reg will be fine as long as you get an aftermarket ECU but the BA reg would be better. I was actually going to buy that gt35 hes selling but ended up getting somthing abit bigger.

Who said t04e are shit? Lol at the end of the day a turbo is only as good as the wheels inside. The t04e frame supports alot of housing and wheel combos so some can be quiet decent.
They are just a bit oldschool, but this means they can be found cheap.
