Stock twins running non-sequential with all the supporting mods and you should have plenty of HP to drift with. If you just want a single turbo, go with a T3 GT35R.

a t4 35r would give better flexibility. .82 hotside, then if that isn't enough power, you could bump it up to a 1.xx

but how much power are you looking for? pump or race gas? street car, or dedicated track car? all these things will help determine what turbo to use.

Good point GUITARJUNKIE28. I didn't think about going the T4 35R route with a smaller exh. housing.

some guys drift their n/a's because they don't like power, while other guys throw down 400-450whp in a drift car. it's all relative.

I heard 60-1 with .81 a/r is good! Spools fast, more than enough hp for drifting at 14-20psi

Apexi RX-6 kit. Mine spools very very fast. I would think it would be the best aftermarket turbo on the market for drifting.

Ive got a 60-1 with a .81 hotside from turbonetics on my fc with an agressive street port running 15pounds of boost on high boost setting ,it spools almost instantly i see full boost buy around 3000rpm in most gears.Stay with smaller hot side for quick spool up good luck

but it's too expensive, doesn't make much power, not rebuildable, etc... a bb60-1 would be cheaper, make more power, and be rebuildable, should something go ill.

I'm running the greddy turbo kit on my FC, it's a mitsubishi heavy industries TD07-25A, 1.02AR hotside, it spools up VERY quickly on my halfbridge, I have to say I'm pretty impressed with it.
