   Forged internals, ZF box and a nice bit of antilag and quite a few other bits and bobs should see one of those turbos right at home on a saxo
   
   It would make one mad mad car

   It won't have anymore lag than your Skyline had with them on.
   
   Unless you Skyline was stroked it won't be using anymore than 1300cc's worth of output to spin them up....

   To be fair it would be pretty pointless using a T34, you'd have a far quicker car with something alittle more suited to the power you'd want to run. I'm assuming you'd want something over 300bhp?

    T series turbos are garrent.
    
    If you use a T3 .48, it should spool up reasonably quick and you'll still have good power. To be fair though a T3 is good for 330bhp max and that just seems overkill on a saxo but good luck, it will be certainly be an experiance to drive.

    edit: not all labeled T's are made by garret. there are lots of copies now.
