Turbo recommendations

Hi Guys.

Im currently have my 93 fd with a single turbo setup that i want to upgrade. Right now im running with a BorgWarner S366SXE, front intercooler setup, on a half bridge port engine and a Microtech Lt-10 c ECU. Running with 93 octane the cars makes around 350whp. Im trying to reach to 400-450hp. Any recommendations on what turbo to upgrade ? I understand that i would need custom manifold for bigger turbo. I have the Elite intake and one of the reason to upgrade too is that the lower intake hits the hot side of the turbo. Thanks !

None of what you're saying makes sense.

Look up the specs on the turbo you have and start there

Thats easily a 600rwhp turbo. Cold air to a large filter, separate waste gate or 4 inch exhaust, water injection or ethanol, you will have that power.

Even on pump fuel with you porting and intake your current power doesn't seem right, what boost are you running? What is your exhaust setup?

Heat soak from exhaust to intake probably isn't helping you.

What turbine housing ar are you using? If all you want is 400 to 450 whp max that turbo is over kill. I was at 450 whp easy at 12 psi 91 pump gas on that turbo.

You don't need a new turbo for your goals. If you can't turn up the boost look elsewhere for your restriction.

You're the one asking the basic questions, maybe try opening up your mind to the possibility that it's the person staring back in the mirror who lacks understanding.

Because if somebody can't even do what he suggested, then it's not possible for anyone else here to help save them from their self. That person would be better off starting a "who can I trust to turbo my car" thread and dropping it off there instead.

You have more than enough to make that power goal without changing anything. I would suggest you have someone remote tune your car. My old FD setup with a half bridge and T78 turbo, smaller injectors, old school tech made 500rwp at 20psi. You should easily be able to crack 400-450rwp with your current setup assuming everything is in good shape. Pettit is a few hours away from your location. Could see if they could tune it. Turn the boost up to 17psi.

And do you have a stock lower intake? If so, I would maybe look into the Xcessive.
