Please help with Turbonetics selection
Im trying to piece together a turbo kit for my FC and I need some help understanding the terms associated with turbo's. My output goal for this car is 400RWHP. I would like to keep the car as streetable as possible.
Ive been considering a T04E. Im assuming I would want a tang/undivided turbine housing because of my HKS undivided manifold? If so, is .96 a good A/R for the street? I think they call it a Q trim on turbonetics website. Also, what is the difference between wet and dry bearing housings? What kind of Compressor housing would I want, a 57 trim?
Thanks
Chris

Sounds like your on the right track, do a bit more research, a T04E might be a little on the small side if you want 400 on pump gas, its been done, but I would go with a T04S, or T60-1.

If you want a little better response, drop down a turbine A/R size - 0.81?

"Dry" bearing is just oil cooled center.

I forgot to add that I was looking at the HKS sport turbo kit. Its been discontinued but I found one on a trashed turbo II for sale. Here are the specs...
T04E
Divided
Internal wastegate
Trim 46
A/R .84
Would this be a good turbo?

It is efficient up to 300hp.

If you ran anything higher, you won't be able to (theoretically) run any lower than the spring rated pressure.
