What Turbo should I get?
Tuesday, May 27, 2008 9:36 PM
Hey guys I was wondering what turbo I should go with to turbo my Eco, I would like around 325-350whp and I really dont want to spend more then 800 on the turbo, alot of people have been telling me to go with a 20G or a GT28R, What do you guys think would be best for me to get the HP i want and have a decent spool time.

Any help will be great
Thanks, Josh

Any GT28R line turbo will spool much faster than a 20G.

A Garrett T3/TO4E 50 trim with a .63 a/r turbine would be a perfect turbo for you to make up to 350whp with in your price range. If you can some how get a Garrett GT turbo for $800 by all means buy it, the GT2860RS and the GT3071R will both work great for your needs.

mine is a t3/t4 stage III 57 trim, .63 a/r good up to 500 hp i think, its just the T series and was in the price range you are aiming for. i fully spool by 2700rpm or so

That's what I'm running, it's a good match to what you're looking to accomplish.

if you were able to have a bit more to spend or depending on the deal you can get maybe look at a gt2871r or a gt30r

I also was thinken bout using the 20g but wanted faster spool. This winter i want to get it ready for 400hp to 450hp range but don't know what turbo to go with. HRC stage II just ain't cuting it.

if you want it a little easier, stay away for watercooled for now.

are you going internal or external wastegate? if external, i have had no problems with my turbo at all. and ATP's prices are reduced now that i look at it haha.

Just currious why you would recommend a 650 hp turbo to someone only looking for 350 hp?
