ok, find me a solution, thats reasonable for these parameters:
WHP Goal 300-320
TQ Goal 310-340
Fully Spooled up in the 3000-3300rpm Range
All with a max limit of $1700 bucks, including turbo, manifold, T-extension, inlet/outlet elbows.
My plans aren't to drag this car at all, well the occassional track event, maybe, but the turbo setup that I want is to have something that will spool up FAST, give GOOD gains, and be towards the top of its effeciency range.
Well I have considered these:
1) OE manifold extrudehoned, s15 turbo and in/out elbows, greddy T-extension...$900 bucks (pros: cheap cost, oem parts - literally, ballbearing, cons: roughly top out at 290-300ish WHP, )
2) JIC manifold, Forced Performance Big28 turbo, greddy t-extension.....$1700 bucks
(pros: quick spool, 310-320WHPish, brand new, better flowing exhaust manny, cons: a little over price)
there is also the option of the GT28R turbo from FP which costs about 200 more than the big28
