Default new turbo

well looks like i am going to get a new turbo. I want a quick spool up time. This is going to be a daily driver, street, show off car. And also going to be drag racing on the weekends. Now i know most people are going to say the evo 3 16g is the best. But seriously, forget about the money aspect of things, is there a Garrett type turbo that will work better for me? Please be honest. i would like to hold full boost throughout the rpm range. I like the look of the garret turbo because it looks more "traditional" and with me being in high school, Having a big turbo under the hood will look cool. Im looking for performance. so please be honest. i was looking at something like a ball bearing 50 trim

None of those will satisfy you... you want the GT28R/T-28 Killer AKA The Disco Potato!!!!!

Disco potato is LEGENDARY for its great top end punch and super super quick spool. It is very popular with turbo drift cars because they need power and they need it at the tap of the throttle. It is the racing circuit and the drifters choice because of its response..... i can tell you first hand... (because i have one lol) i LOVE it.

However if you want to get the most out of it then you are going to want to get a FMIC setup.
