HI PSI Member 1,589 Member For: 18y 11m 29d Gender: Male Location: Central Queensland Posted 28/10/09 07:18 AM Share Posted 28/10/09 07:18 AM Hi all, I will soon be looking at replacing the standard turbo so that I may get more power. I am considering a TO4Z as a replacement as I only want to get to aroung 450 rwkw. Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea about turbos or how housing sizes or impellers affect performance. Could someone please shed some light on the subject and maybe tell me what I should be looking for so that I will not be sold the wrong product.. Thank you for your time...Regards Brad Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/63100-what-should-i-look-for-in-a-bigger-turbo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have seen mid to highish 400's with all the supporting mods on race fuel so should do ok. The exhaust manifold you go with as well as your supporting mods can & will affect not only your topend figure but also how it drives day to day. Either 6boost who I use or etm both make top notch gear. Best thing to do s have a flick through the 400 club & look at some of the bigger figures there & see what combo's they have gone through & some of there comments on how it performs daily.
