greddy t78 or t88?
Hey guys im about to buy the greddy turbo kit. Looking tward the t88 a little more just concerned about turbo lag. Aiming for 500+ horsepower on about 20psi. Im running t56 6 speed gto transmission and 4.10 ratio in the back. Would the t88 or t78 be more compatable with my setup?. Thanks in advance!

I understand this thread was started looking into Greddy turbos, but you should really look into the Borg Warner S366. Its a newer technology at a great price. I'm currently using it in my FD with great results, and here is a thread that was started by somebody asking a very similar question.

On a high speed track it wouldn't be much of an issue but for a street car like you said it is, having to rev up that high just to see boost would be unbearable.

I'd look into the GT35 range or GTX series turbos if thats the power you want. would be much more efficient and responsive.
I currently have a .7/1.15 T04b on a standard port motor and the fun kicks in at 4500.. still bulk fun as once the powers there it will be through the next gear too though for little squirts you cant do much.

Gotta hand it to Greddy. They have been making the same turbo kit for close to 15 years. But yeah, for the price new, it is no longer remotely worth it. Turbo technology is in a different playing field these days.
Another thing to remember is 500whp can be done with a GT35R, or even T04S. Water injection has realistically changed everything. You are no longer limited to a big laggy turbo and/or race gas. Take a stroll down to the AI section....

If you want 500's , T88 34d. T78 is good turbo for 450 or so. This turbo is still a common turbo in Japan for making good power. RE Amemiya wins many races with these turbos.
