Turbo sizing is an art in itself. You cant just slap on some big turbo and expect your car to perform perfectly. Turbonetics or the turbonetics compressor maps may help you out on what to choose. If you get the wrong sizing, your car will be slow and unresponsive or fast spooling with lame top end.

Street porting does help make horsepower for turbo cars, but it is not a band aid for a poorly sized turbo. If you have the engine apart, might as well port it. If it is already together, it may not be worth the effort to tear it down again. I hope this helps a little bit

I need your opinion on this TURBO
T04B V-Trim compressor P-Trim turbine w/ .96 A/R

DOes this turbo spool pretty quik or a slow spooler. Im planning on slapping this unit to my TII with FMIC.
