What turbo for my 12a?
So I'm rebuilding a 12a turbo doing a semi pp ,and Bridgeport, and adding dowel pins cause I want to run n/a rotors...someone told me to run a 70a/r and a 96a/r hotside...
What turbo you think I should use...
It's gonna be a track/drift car, well let's just say a fun car lol

ok i plan to do a bridge port with a semi peripheral port not a full peripheral
i want anywhere from 300 to under 400hp
basically i want a build that pushes an easy 400 hp but i want to tune it down to 300 or anything uder 400 so it runs strong and is spooling quickly from low to high rpm's
did i make that clear?
its not like i can go do numerous amout of runs trying out different types of turbos ( a shop that allows this for the best set up would be amaising lol) but im not trying to buy one turbo then find out theres a nother turb that would run better, i know what i want but when it comes to turbo choices.

you want one of these:
gt35r, t04s 60-1, or t04e 60trim. stock ports all will hit 350 easy. the 35r is more $$ but will err towards more power and faster spool.
The t04e will hit do the job too and be cheap. Streetport it if you're concerned about meeting your power goals.

true your car is light enough . I would go street port with a S5 t2 turbo since you are using high compression rotors and make an adapter since you have to custom make the manifold for the 12a anyway to go turbo. boost the turbo 10psi and go drift and save your self $$$
. But really he can do just do a nice blowthru turbo setup on his 12a and make great power.
....nothing smaller

I know. I was thinking that the set up between a track car and a drift car was completely different if they want to be competitive in either one...

My suggestion is to spend lots of time reading in the 2nd gen section to see what kind of hp they're making and how they're making it. Granted, there are some differences making 400 hp with a 12A compared to a 13B but the principles are the same. If you want longevity from your engine, start with a TII block, preferably an S5, and go from there.
