Turbo ?'s
Ok so there are a few questions about upgraded turbos that i would like to know. These are mainly manifold questions such as what type of flange, or manifold does a T66 or T76 bolt to, the only Ones that they seem to sell for the fc's is the to4 manifold and the v-trim manifold, which im not sure is even for the fc. so how do these mate up?
Thanks Chris

If you use the HKS manifold, it'll work with any T04 series Garrett turbo.  This includes the "T-Series" turbos from Turbonetics (i.e. T66, T76) you mentioned.

you'd probbaly want be running 30+ on the t66... to4 would be fine for 15psi.. heck you could just go with a t04 hybrid and save lots of money and work.

Yeah...what are your goals? If you're going to do a lot of autocrossing and such, a big *** turbo isn't going to help you out much because it'll take so long to spool.
Big turbos are also a bit impractical for the street, because if you don't start really getting into boost until 5k or higher, you're going to have to remain in your upper RPMs which, again, is impractical on the street.

I think that only ted red the question. But for as far as big turbos go, the t66 is not that big compared to t76kits that greddy makes for 3g cars and also t88 turbos for that matter, yea this will make a small bit of difficulty driving around with the t66 but i care not. No i don't autox i did it once or twice it was ok, but not my thing And i don't hang out at the drag strip very much b/c the only thing really close to here is 1/8th mile, so that is not even really worth my time, i Mainly just race a few people on the street, and usually from a roll. Im just looking for a big numbers producing turbo that i don't feel The need to take off and replace later with something bigger, i wanna do the required mods to get this to make good power, and then just keep upgrading the car untill im at my perfered peak power range that i wanna be in.

You're getting a bit confused.
The SR20 runs a stock T25 Garrett turbo.  These things make a little over 300hp maxed out.  No, these will not fit on the HKS 13B cast manifold.
Most of the advice you're getting is right - you need to figure out how much power you want.  It helps to know how much boost you're looking to make - at 15psi-20psi, there are turbos that will give you 400hp very easily.  These include the 60-1, T04E 60, and TS04.
Be careful about turbo models - you cannot compare the Garrett T66, T76 versus the Mitsubishi T67, T88 - it DOES look very similar!
