If you are looking for good boost response I would go with a gt35r

In that case, I would probably go with a t04z with a bigger AR or possibly a t51 kai (if you can stand spooling at 4500 rpm or so)

500R is also a good option.

Best response = Smaller Turbo
Best Power = Bigger Turbo

Depends once again.. the same thing that has been listed over 500 times....what do you want? What do you consider "good" response? What are your power goals? what is the goal of the car? How much money do you want to spend? What size fuel injectors? What size port? Good response with 300hp is far different then good response with 500hp. The smaller the hotside, the better response, the smaller the power. The larger the hotside, the slower the response, more power. Too big of a compressor wheel vs a small exhaust wheel = increased chance of surge or no high end power.

gt35 or a t66 is going to be the best response for a single turbo horsepower wise

Once again, depends on the horsepower goal. Sure as hell not good for 600hp

How much power do you want to make, and at what boost pressure?

Once we know that, we can make a better guess.

Sorry to hi-jack, but I have a very similar question that might answer his at the same time. I want to make 300rwhp on a RE motor with stock ports. I want to build a street car...so top end is not the target here. Would like to build boost low and keep it pulling all the way through to red line.

thanx
