I've been stuck in the world of 14b's and evo 16 g's ever since i've been introduced to cars...within in the next 4 weeks i'm going to purchase a big silly turbo. I'm kind of new to that realm of turbos.

I will acquire whatever supporting mods are needed.

My goal is something that will slap me easily into the 12 second club with a lot of room to push the car to even lower times with proper set up and tuning. The goals I have for the car is mainly a track car, that is streetable. By streetable I mean that Ihave a dd, I wold just like to occasionally take the car out around town and romp on it. I know it is hard to set up a car with two goals in mind, but I enjoy autocrossing almost as much as I enjoy drag racing. The set up will slightly favor the drag strip.

money is absolutely no issue. I know i'm looking at dropping a couple of grand on just the trubo. I've been hearing ball bearing and 50-60 trim.

I've looked around at the information, but am relatively lost, and would appreaciate getting straightforward information from trustworthy members of the board who have personal experience with larger turbos.

if you need anymore information about what i want in a trubo, just ask, ihope i provided enough information.

thanks in advance.

Basicly he's looking for the 'magic turbo'. Killer power but without the 5k+ spool time on a 7.8:1 compression 1G engine.

I've reccomended the 50 and 60 trim ball bearing options as well as the FP3065.

Best options to bring the efficiency up and the spool-up time down on the giant turbos IMHO.

The standby's I reccomended were the larger PTE bolt on Garretts. (Same as the BR series only without quite the price tag).

I've had my say though so I'm guessing most of the point of the thread is for some outside direction.
