Quick Turbo Question

Okay so my friends brother can get me any turbo I want for a big discount. My buddy got a turbonetics turbo (i dont remember what size) ball bearing for $800 and he showed me that it was worth about $1200.

My question is what turbo should I get for my setup (under "mods" below). Im looking for compadabilty and ball bearing, please let me know what size or better yet model # so he can order me one thanks!

what are your goals? What's the HP you're looking for?

you can look into a 60-1
or TD04
GT30
GT35
T70

If you don't know what you want then we can't recommend a damn thing

im looking at the biggest turbo i can get without needing a stand alone ecu, im not sure what are the boundaries of the rtek 2.0 but i know it can only do so much. also ball bearing is preffered.

remember though, 15psi on a T70 is not the same hp as 15 psi on a GT30, or a GT35.

I am not familiar with the Rtek so I can't help there.

these guys talk about different turbos. At one point I thought it was for the FD guys who went single turbo but a lot of the FC guys post in there too. Check them out and then tell your friend to hook you up.
