Took two turbos with shortcomings and made one good one out of them.
Took the turbine out of the T3/T4, all the measurements were exactly the same as the one from the GT35, except the wheel itself of course. So I just simply swapped out the turbine wheel/shaft. Put the .63 housing on, which fit the GT35 CHRA, and it all bolted together. Couldn't believe it.
Fired it up, checked ok, took it out for a drive. Only took it to 25psi, but EGT's didn't pass 1300. Top end is back. Checked it out when I got back and there's no excess shaft play and it's not bypassing any oil.
So, it worked! We'll see how long I guess
