I am finally looking into single turbos. Everything keeps leading me back to two options:

-t04e 60 trim 1.0 a/r
-gt35r 1.06 a/r or .82 a/r?

I have an automatic and the gears are long. I know both these turbos will reach boost (15-16psi) by 3,800rpm at the latest, which is what i need. My question is what a/r size would better suit my car......the 1.06 or .82?

I would like for my turbo to carry boost till redline without running out of breath and i would also like the boost to be full by 3,800rpm.

Heres what i have

-Auto (w/supporting mods)
-stock ports
-550/1300cc injectors
-water/meth injection

Im not looking for big power right now...maybe just 360whp then add more fuel/port work/boost later for 400whp or more. So i want a turbo that can grow with me a little

What do you guys think?
