well i have a 7 bolt motor that i am building and almost done i got 3" exhaust, brain crower stage 2 cams, valve springs and titanium retainers, manley pistons .20, Engine Pro H-Beam Rods, acl race main and rod bearings, injen intake, aem true boost controller, front mount intercooler with short route piping, fidanza 2.1 clutch cometic head gasket, arp head, rod, and main bolts, head has been port and polished, head and i think thats about it is their anything that im missing that anyone would suggest but main question what turbo to use i would like at least 400-450 hp but i dont want to wait forever to spool any suggestions would be great thanks.

 

My neighbor who constantly is rebuilding something suggested looking into a Garrett T3 turbo.

 

^^ T3 is just the flange. That is not a specific turbo.

For that range, and your mods, I say get a PTE 50 trim. Great *** turbo.

 

^^ Garrett IS a full turbo brand but yes the T3 designates the flange type.

 

Sebba it could be a complete T3 and not a hybrid. Which as you know the 50 trim is a hybrid t3/t4 garrett turbo.

And i agree with sebba. For that power the 50 trim will do what you need however it is not a complete bolt on as it uses different turbine flanges then the 2g so you will need a new manifold and a downpipe. (but your probably gonna do that with any turbo)

BTW what are your plans for tuning the car?

 

Thanks TE for mentioning my suggestion wasn't total cra?? .. I moderate some groups myself and it takes a certain type person to do it dispassionately.

 

well thanks for info so far i think im gonna go with dsmlink not sure yet and as far as a turbo the pte 50 trim whats the spool like on one the turbo im familar with is the ol stock t25 and a big 16g

 

and im also going to be doing the awd swap to my spyder very soon

 

The spool on the 50 trim isn't bad. Obviously it won't be anywhere near the T25 or 14b, but for it's size and output it's pretty outstanding.

 

on these mods: stock block, lightly ported 2g head, comp101200, magnus SMIM, tubular exhaust manifold, 3 in turbo back exhaust and 3 inch intake pipe.... front mount.... 1g TB.. etc etc... I got full spool at about 4 grand in second gear. 1st gear was the main spool gear (building boost) and second was the power gear. I would recommend the 50 trim to anyone. For the record its a complete bolt on with the stock exhaust manifold and o2 housing, so now issues there. You're gonna need bigger injectors and a good tuning tool. Dsmlink is definately the way to go
