Jimbobs Lexus IS200 Turbo!

Need to know whether this turbo is any gd for me???

Also when i have both lambda sensors connected i get misfires on 4,5 and 6 looked at the fuel trims and sensor 1 was at +19.5% so lambda broke ok fine but!!! sensor 2 is working fine but i get the misfires!! so i disconnected the lamda sensor and then adjusted the airflow map so it sat a 14.6 on my afr gauge. So now both trims are at +19.5% and afr is at 14.6 and car idles smoothest it has ever been with no misfires obviously i need to sort all the afr through the complete rev range and airflow range via the greddy
This is not ideal but works and car runs so much better whats the harm in doing this and is this happening because the standard ecu is fighting the greddy setup???
just found this info aswell:
The 7blade hx35 has a 56mm compressor inducer. This is found on the 1999-2002 cummins manual pickups. The compressor flows 60lb/min according to the compressor map and logged results from a member here. The bolton BEP housing with the hx35 turbine wheel do not SEAM to have enough flow to really reach the potential of 60lb/min. But many have logged over 50lb/min so far and seen 500whp. The stock hx35 12cm^2 twinscroll turbine housing is a t3 flange housing. This mated to a NON-divided runner manifold has produced a 132mph trap speed with a full weight 1g AWD. This is about 600whp. So the flow is there with the stock housing if you use a non-divided manifold. The spool speed of the 7blade hx35 is similar to the 8blade hx35 with 20+ psi by 3500rpms in the bolton housing and by 4000rpms with the stock housing with a non-divided manifold.
My 2p... stop looking for turbos on eBay. All you will find is cheap Chinese tat and random 2nd hand diesel stuff... Unless you're looking for a turbo used a lot like the 200SX units and the TD05/TD06 which you will very occasionally find a decent 2nd hand unit for. Personally I wouldn't trust a 2nd hand turbo either, nearly all of them will need rebuilds! I would be looking on owners clubs and driftworks.
Also I would work out what sort of air you need to shift and work out what A/R you need etc BEFOREHAND, then you will know when you find a turbo whether it's any use to your or not, rather than just sorting through hundreds of turbos that may or may not be suitable.
how the hell do i work all that out toxo im a noob with all that lol i just picked a gt35 and went for it lol i can only go with a 2nd hand turbo at the min as funds are very very low this is just to get me by till savings recoup lol cheers for your advice mate!
I've got to agree with Toxo. Ring round the turbo companies, most will help you chose which turbo is best suited to you. Then find the best price.
well money is my big flaw at the minute the old turbo has play side to side its not hitting the body and its very little oil coming from it im just stuck as i need the car as its my daily
