my situation.....i need your 2 cents
ok so here is my situation. i have an s5 n/a engine. i am in the process of turboing it now. i am going to be rebuilding the engine, all seals all rotor seal etc. all stock porting (except the exhaust sleeves in the N/A housings)
here is what i am going to be using for sure.
s5 n/a housing
s5 n/a rotors
turbo irons
s5 turbo LIM
s5 turbo UIM
N370 ECU
N370 MAF
walbro 255
turbo ii primary fuel rail
turbo ii secondary fuel rail
i know i need to run larger primary and secondary injectors, and i know those depend on tuning and turbo etc. the thing is im not sure what turbo i should run. i have been told the gt35r is a great turbo for the 13bs. i was thinking of running rtek, im not sure which one though 1.5 1.7 2.1 etc i think i have to use the 1.7
or higher right because of the larger injectors. i was considering running the 2.1 but wasnt sure if it would be overkill. im not wanting to run too high of boost because i want my engine to last. i was thinking somewhere around 8 lbs of boost.
would you guys still suggest the gt35r turbo for such low boost applications?
and with the setup i have listed what primary and what secondary injectors would you guys suggest?
thanks in advance

If you are going to run 8psi you could just keep it cheap and run a stock turbo. That being said though it wouldnt make you any harm running the gt35r even at 8psi so if you have the money/time then just do it.
Injectors...at 8psi I would say at least run the 1.7rtek which you will have to put 720cc secondaries and leave the 550cc primaries. With the 1.7 and the 255lb pump you should be fine at 8psi. Now the only problem I have with the 1.7rtek is that you are kind of stuck there with the same map unless you run an ASFC or something like that (I have a 1.7).
I hope this helps you.

Sequentially broken
The stock turbo's just old, and you can't do much with the stock A/R size at certain points, you either clip the wheel to allow more flow but hurt spool, or you overrun it. It's not so bad if you're never going to leave 8psi, you probably wouldn't gain much from any turbo replacement being that low as the stocker will still be relatively close to it's efficiency range still.
