Anyone have any thoughts on putting a GT32 (Compressor trim: 52, AR:0.5, turbine:trim 73, AR: 0.78, internally wastegated) on an FC?

Does it have the POTENTIAL to spool correctly, make good power, avoid creep or overboost, etc?

Note how I say potential, as in I know there are many more factors that turbo selection alone.
Since I run NA I am not familiar with turbos just yet. All thoughts are welcome!

 

too small

 

GT32s don't come in a ball bearing models (only turbos with Rs have ball bearings) so I would probably go with a GT35R it's bigger and will probably spool just as fast, if not faster.

 

Too small.. really? I wasnt going for 400whp but fair enough.

And I didnt know that about the ball bearings either... shitty deal. Could had this turbo for 400 brand new

 

You get what you pay for.

 

agreed. go with the GT35R or the 500R from A-Spec. Check out goodfellasfd3s for the 500R.

 

Check out A-Spec's GT3574 for a cheaper alternative to BB with good response and fully capable of handling 400whp. It's what I'm gonna rock when I drop the T04E

 

Put two GT32s on there!

Otherwise.. to small.

 

The hot side is too small. A bigger hotside and it would be a good turbo to make 300HP or so on the NA engine with a great torque curve. The 1.06 T3 hotside is a good choice if you can get it. Or go with the GT30R.
