Stock specs for the turbo/installing jwt450 upgrade

I am trying to make an informed decision replacing my tubo on an 83zxt. I want to find out what the stock specification for the factory turbo is. I have Searched high and low and found nothing.
Wolf doesn't have any more sport 350 turbos nor any sport 400 turbos....however,

I found one called a Sport 320 from here: http://www.turboengineering.com/upgr...rt/nissan.html

Company is Turbo Engineering Corp. The tech guy wasn't too helpful in my opinion.
thanks in advance kennny.

www.google.com is a great search engine. (try this page: http://www.mygen.com/users/dbruce/my...sor%20Maps.htm ) You don't need to buy a JWT turbo. They are overpriced. Take your turbocharger to a local turbo shop & have them upgrade it to a T3/T4 Hybrid. They upgrade the compressor housing and wheel, and leave your exhaust side stock. That should cost about $400 and it's really about all you can do, unless you cut a hole in your exhaust manifold and run an external wastegate.

This is my hybrid:

Are those blue hoses for a water coolant line, or is it for an oil cooled line?

Nice...I thought the question was if it was actually connected as an oil line.

Who supplies those hoses in the US?

BTW - your wastegate line is a little long

Looks like Flexfab silicone radiator hose to me. I think turbohoses.com has some stuff too.

well, found the stock specs...

Talked to Ben at JWT to get the specs of the Sport 450 [no longer in production]
Will probably try that route as a start.
