Single Turbo?
I am looking into going single turbo. My budget is about $3300 (turbo kit). I have researched for a while and now is time get some opinions from the Forum.
Which/who's turbo kit would you get and why if you were doing it again?
thanks!

The question was which turbo kit would you get and why?

Thanks
a.) go completely custom(manifold,downpipe etc) and pair with with a nice precision turbo probably the pt-72 and call it day.. only take this option if you the resources for it a.k.a someone with sick welding skills or aomeone that actually builds manifold etc...
b.) i would probably go with sean(aspec) 500r kit or j just go all in and go gt42r

Thanks showoff,
so you would not go T78 route again, why not and why GT42 and not R85 or one of the Gotham Racing equivalent?
Thanks again for your honest opinion!

In my opinion the gt42r is not a viable street turbo, too large and too much lag.
14.7 psi, i am assuming you plan to run on 93 octane so at most 17 psi?
The 500r definitely has made good numbers, and is an intriguing setup. It's still pretty new so not lots of guys posting results yet, and evidently there is a waiting list.
Sean, is the 500r compressor a 60-61mm?
I have been thinking of going single myself recently, and have been looking at the GR67 with the dual ball bearing option. A guy here locally trapped 128mph in the 1/4 with this kit on a streetported engine and pump gas, which is insanely fast in my book for pump gas boost levels.....

Thanks for some good info GoodfellaFD3S!!!
Yea I was looking into GR67 also, but this 500r sound very interesting. Didn't realize there is a waiting list for 500r do we know how long.
Does anyone have any solid info on 500r or gr67?+
thanks

A-spec has dyno videos in there section of the 500R doing ~450rwhp @ 14psi. I think there is a video and dyno sheet of a 503rwhp @20psi run for the 500R as well. Not sure where that is. I know I saw it though.
