Lightbulb want to beak into the 500hp . what turbo?

just like the title says , im gonna be rebuilding my motor for a 450-500hp set up before winter . now i been doing soo much research and there are soo many turbos out there . and i want something a little bigger then a 35r . i was leaning towards a t51r or something simular . dont know too much about turbos . i currently rebuilt my own motor (first motor i ever put together) with a BNR stg 4 turbo . its feels good but i want more . i want that power range on pump gas and dont want something that has too much lag . thanks guys

If you just want to break 500 HP, why would you need a new manifold?

Just curious.

If you were tuning a NA it would be different of course.

I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure proper sizing is more important than ball bearings.

Buy whatever you think is the best deal you can find. If you have to pass emissions (and even if you don't...) you are probably better off using a turbo with an internal wastegate. It's better for the environment, yo! If you get a manifold and downpipe that reroutes the wastegate gas then I'd say go with either one.

Thought u were broke...

Whatever $$$ figure you currently have in mind, multiply it by 3, and you will still come out short.

Not a negative comment, just posting what YOU told me on a PM, after failing to paypal me $50 for a pair of injectors. Just saying, 500 rwhp is not in the same league as bolting in a hybrid, 720 secondaries, and piggyback.

TD61 turbo from Turblown would get you to 500 with good spool rate!
