Arrow What turbo are you running with HKS cast manifold???

I am running a T04E and it has lived its life. It is worn out and smoking, so it's time to upgrade. I am looking at PT6262, PT6265, GT4082, or the GT4088. These will hopefully clear my intake and my frame rail. So I figured I would ask you folks on what you’re using to see what options are out there. My motor is a half-bridge with all the supporting mods. I am currently running 14psi but I am bumping up to 18psi with the new turbo. My driving style is spirited street driving with the ever so often 1/4 mile track day. I am looking for something with fairly good spool and one that will keep up with the top end power of a half-bridge.

Thank you

If your going with the garrett line go for the gt4096r, you won't be happy with the slow response of the 4088, I know the dual ball bearing is more money but it's worth every penny

the GT40 non ball bearing *does fit*

How do you like this turbo? Do you have any port work? How much boost are you running and when does that turbo spool up? I was looking at getting this turbo. I talk to Presicion Turbo and I think im going to go with the PT6265SP billet turbo.

I do believe the design of the manifold plays a big role in it's unrespinsuveness. it should wake up a bit after Steven Kan tunes it tho
