SLOWT2

ok im unpgrading my entire turbo system, the things i know for sure are a hks cast manifold, 35mm wastegate(vented to the outside), a spearco fmic, with 2.5 inch piping the only problem im having is which turbo will be the best for my set up, also in the near future i will be getting a rebuild with a very agressive streetport
alot of people have said the t04e but the t3/60-1 has a high lb/min rating, im am very lost any help is welcome


these are the 2 im stuck between----

to4e
Fitted with a .57 trim T04E compressor (48lb/min) and .60 trim T04E compressor housing. The turbine side features the very efficient .76 trim Stg. 3 T3 turbine wheel and a high flow TA31 turbine housing.

or

t3/60-1
Fitted with a 60-1 compressor (65lb/min) and .70 trim T04S/60-1 compressor housing. The turbine side features the very efficient .76 trim Stg. 3 T3 turbine wheel and a high flow TA31 turbine housing.

stay away from the t3 turbine wheels and housings.... this sounds like you have been talking to a "turbo guru" and NOT someone who knows turbos and rotaries. If your going to go threw all the trouble and cost of a full turbo upgrade, go for the T04b 60-1 (sometimes misstakenly called a T04e, but the T04e 60 trim is different then the 60-1 and flows slightly lower cfm #'s and is more efficient at higher boost levels, but at lower flow) Get either a .84, or 1.00 T4 "P"-trim turbine side.... If your getting a non-divided exhaust manifold get a .96 "P"-trim.... keep whatever turbine housing you choose TANG.... stay away from "on-center" housings. Make sure (although not a must) to get a "wet" or water cooled center. As far as compressor housings.. get either a .6 or .7 NON-shrouded. If you give a little more info as to what power #'s your looking to get and how you want your power band and how the car will be driven (street, auto X, drag etc.)... I or others on the forum can narrow down the specifics of the turbo specs.
