HKS T51R KAI parts aren't very expensive. That's if you know the parts numbers from garrett

Which turbo would you choose?

Also, has anyone heard of a KFG-T51R from http://members.shaw.ca/kfgroup/Turbo_&_Upgrades.htm

Same cartridge and wheels, different compressor housings and turbine housings. Good for about the same power level. Both ball bearing ( if you choose the T51R SPL BB).

I have driven a T51 R SPL non -BB,a nd it was INSANE. SO now I am putting a GT42 with 102mm compressor wheel in my FC
