which single turbo will suit me

i cant deside which turbo to buy i want as close as i can to a true 500rwhp on pump fuel with out to much lag so a roller bearing turbo prob my best bet.
i wondered if anyone on heres tryed out the hp 3 turbo by sr motorsport http://www.shaneracing.com/sr93trbo.html
far a extra fee they built it with rollerbearings or a gt35r but not shore if that will make that hp.or any other turbo that might suit me and where would be the best place to buy one.
thanks
steve

Not to say there isn't anyone, but I can't remember anyone doing it on a 2 rotor on pump. There may be some guys doing it, I just can't recall who that might be. Anyone?

Its not gonna happen. Not on pump gas and without some sort of water injection or alcohol. I think the most I've seen was around 450.

You should be making a bit more than 300 HP at one bar on a to4b. Conservative tune? Not to mention...a bunch of lag on a to4b? That thing should spool like nobodys business. Have you checked the shaft play/condition of your turbo lately?

500HP can definitely be done on pump gas, it's not an easy task, but can be done.

gt42r? You can fairly easily get to 500 on pump.

thanks margues i will check that im not shore what turbo it is i no its a to4 but no idea which model but im not happy with it could it be to do with the map.
i would rather aim for about 450 rwhp with less lag 500 may be pushing it abit if i want it to spool up quick

It will get you there you will need to run a higher amount of boost, the larger T4 footprint as well.
You will need to be in the upper limits of boost on pump. We did 436@16lbs with the 1.02 A/r housing. Did you read the link I posted? It would help answer your question for you.

How about a 1/2bridgeported 13b-rew with a t70 and 1.15 a/r hotside? I'd like to think I can make 500 on pump

We are almost done with a half bridge, T4 GT35R setup that should make some good numbers. I will post the dyno when done.

I think you'll find that compressor a little on the small side for the motor
