87 TII Build Questions.

I just decided that it was time to take the FC apart and do a full build. In the process of trying to figure out what I want I figured it would be best to consult with y'all. I was looking to be in the 500hp range. For the turbo selection I think that I am just confusing my self, I was thinking GT40, GreddyT70, also heard some great things about the BW EFR turbos http://www.full-race.com/store/turbos/borgwarner-efr/. I was looking for a turbo calculator that was rotary compatible with no luck. I am of course gonna do a full build on the motor(Cryo, dowel pin,...). For the fuel I was going with the 850cc/1600cc setup. I was thinking that the Power FC would be fine for ECU (any thoughts on this???). As well as the obvious supporting mods. My main worry was the turbo selection, this is the one area where I have trouble with this build. My worries are that I am at 5280ft elevation, so spool is important. I also wanted to get as close to my target HP but reliability is still important in this build. PLEASE help.......

Thanks as always for the input

Get yourself a BNR turbo and have twin 50mm wastegates. I recall reading somewhere on this forum that doing so will increase throttle response by a ton. To me that sounds werid, but then again I am no turbo expert. Look in the Turbo Performance section of the forums, and do a lot of reading before asking questions.

I'm not trying to bash you, but this is not the right section whatsoever for this question.

now THATS something we can use!

Nor is it the right section for half cocked advice. OP you will not make 500 whp on a hybrid. You do not need twin 50mm wg's on a hybrid. You don't even need twin 50mm wg's to make 500whp.
