recommend me a new single turbo set up

I have a t78 with a bridge-port. I have had it for a while and the tune on it is getting on my last nerve. I m thinking about changing the set up. anybody wants to buy a t78 turbo let me know. I want more power.....lots of it but not ernie t power. I don't like to break stuff. something ball baring. maybe a garrett. thanks. I have been driving my rx7 around now that I smoked the clutch in the zo06. Man I love my Fd. I just need to spend some money on her. it has been a while. thanks. kevin

Best bang for the buck Kev is gonna be a Borg Warner. Get the 71mm. It will spool fast for ya and be a great all around turbo for road racing or ......even a little drag racing
Seriously you can get that turbo brand new for less then $1000. Manifold will cost about $800 and your done.

correct me if im wrong, but at the power ur making now+ want more there is more chances ur gonna break something.... and isnt that territory youre looking for when the axles start to go? (maybe wrong)

Kevin wants a turbo setup a bit more suitable for say 2010 lol. The T78 is 20yr old technology. There are far better and cheaper turbo setups that will make more power with a better power band. Your going to break drivetrain parts when drag racing not road racing which is what Kevin does.
