what size inlets are on your turbos?

i'm looking into buying a single setup and have the choice of either a 3 or 4 inch inlet. which is the most common inlet size on your turbos?

which should i get?

( i'm looking at a kit with a T62-1 p trim .96a/r)

5" inlet on mine.

Go a larger exhaust, that will choke you in the top end and cost you VE% in the engine.

I have a T60-1 Garrett w/ .70 compressor and 1.15 A/R turbine...... 4" inlet with 2.5" exhaust, but I have a 3" dp.... Great turbo for all styles of driving and is still streetable.... Of course its one mans opinion

I have a T60-1 Garrett w/.55 compressor and 1.32 a/r turbing...... ~3" inlet with ~2.5" exhaust, I haven't installed mine yet, but everyone keeps telling me its not going to spool, but after seeing what bkaplod has I think i'm going to be ok
