XFORCED Member 42 Member For: 15y 8m 22d Posted 28/01/12 03:13 AM Posted 28/01/12 03:13 AM Looking to upgrade turbo on my project soon, chasing the 450wkw mark and still want plenty of down low to mid, looking for suggestions on turbos and not sure what to go for. I'm going for a external gate and high mount as well if anyone can help

All dependant on your other mods as well, E85 or pump fuel?Manual or auto?Your best bet is to speak to your tuner or call ETM or 6boost as they can do a package deal since your going a aftermarket manifold.

Ive got a Nizpro stage 3 engine, plenum etc, Plazmaman cooler and 6 speed manual. Is going into the project car very shortly. Just trying to nut out the turbo side of things to get the best combo. I have access to both e85 and 98, but would prefer for ease of locations to stick with 98

High 400s on e85Above that start looking at gt40 and bigger turbos, plus manifold , wastegate ect.

The tried and tested 66mm wheel is a proven performer for mid 400s that we find ourselves constantly going back to.

ALF05T Member 453 Member For: 19y 8m 10d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 29/01/12 08:59 PM Posted 29/01/12 08:59 PM I have a gTX3582R and although it has yet to be tuned it pulls alot harder then my standard turbo.guys are getting 420 to 430rwkw with these on standard manifolds! Or 450 plus on E85.Good cheap option I think, you will need to upgrade the intake and hot side as diametres are slightly larger.Large turbo set up will set you back alot not much change from 7 to 8k. On the street I think the little GTX isgreat, I have heard the precision turbos are good aswell you should invest your time researching these also.Cheers Alf
