APEXi IHI RX-6 Makes I think up to 450hp, I forget if thats flywheel or at the rear wheels

There are a couple other setups. But APEXi is just one that always caught my eye.

Big TURBO for AUTOx??..i dont think you want a big turbo. Most big turbos takes time to spool and are very laggy. But then again i might be wrong. Just my thoughts..A T04 spools pretty early.

No you are right. T04 or even a TS04 turbos are good.

T04E Kit from XS, same power as the Apex'i but cheaper, rebuildable, and faster spool up.

Big turbo and drifting do not go together.
I'd take an NA flat-torque band ANYDAY if I wanted a drift car.&nbsp Turbos make for typically peaky and non-linear torque bands.&nbsp 4AGE-20V revvin' to 12kRPM in a Hachi ANYDAY! muAHhAHhhahHAHAH

I would go with a T04E - hands down. The X S kit is the one I would use - especially if located in the western states.

Here is a dyno of my latest T04E - tuning my X S Engineering. The dyno chart is posted here first.
