I could tell a difference, good, with the Safari airmax, even over my 3” that I built(which is for sale
)

I just got the 3B turbo kit (sans exhaust manifold) from @Diesel42 and can't wait to swap it in! Price a bit steep but seems convenient. Turbo mapped for 3B/13BT and adapter plate, lines, etc. My poor ol CT26 is whistling and spitting oil into my intake. Needs to get swapped very soon. Hoping for max PSI around 13-14 but much quicker spool up to be on boost sooner. Not sure about your snorkel retarding the boost... maybe something about positive/negative pressure? IDK
I think we need to see what turbo @mcguirejohnson put on the @Laughingjackal 60 w/ Isuzu 4BDT1. I drove that last weekend and she hit 15 psi quickly...I'm surprised you went with his kit over just rebuilding/upgrading your CT26. No offense to Diesel42 at all, I think that kit is great.
A rebuild on the stock CT26 is $400~$500.
A mamba tek or kinugawa "built" turbo is $850ish
For ~$2000 you can get a top of the line G-turbo vortex blue wheel build
That garret will definitely be a better match and newer tech, so maybe thats why you went that route?
What is the price for the kit minus the intake? You can share via private message if you don't want to post.
I know a newer turbo definitely benefits the the 13BT. Once I try the "more air" mod on the air cleaner I will see how the turbo responds. I still plan on upgrading to a better sized turbo for less lag.

I can’t wait for my TD04 to be done, all this turbo talk has me excitedI know when I open the snorkel/airbox up I can easily get over 14psi. That said, the CT26 is wrong sized for the 13BT which would explain a lot. It's very laggy.
Definitely would like to see what turbo he is running.
Something like this?Looking at the Fzj air lid box. Also possibly a “trap door” to let more air in, but still be filtered.
Definitely more air helps the spooling for sure.
I forgot you did that..Something like this?
No, I cut both pieces out and then installed the raised one on my original lid.I forgot you did that..
You plasma cut it and flipped it?
@mcguirejohnson went with the Garrett GT2252. I'm loving it.I think we need to see what turbo @mcguirejohnson put on the @Laughingjackal 60 w/ Isuzu 4BDT1. I drove that last weekend and she hit 15 psi quickly...
