Big Turbo questions, which to get? Options

[xian 1g]

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.

i do not want an evo 16g. that's what a lot of people are running. I don't want to be like a lot of people.

Basically, i was trying to ask, what is the best turbo money can buy? but i know that depends on what your goals are. I am modest in general especial about my abilities with a car. I'm not going to walk with a limp and say g homie holla atchya boy, i'm gonna run 10's female dog. I know you can slap a big turbo, hell even nitrous on to a car, and still be in the 13's becuase you suck at tuning or even driving. "So I can see where my modesty may have got i the way of the information i'm looking for.

i know that people have taken the 14b into the twelves. Hell, didn't marcus do that? or was it nate?

Maybe this will help out, I want a turbo that would easily sit me in tens. And still have potential to push me lower. The 9's. Am i saying that's what i'm going to run? no, i'm saying that i will hit 12's the first time down the track, and everyone will laugh. With patience and time, the turbo will provide me with more potential that my current skills.

hell, even if i purchase and decide i don't have the skills for that, it can always sit on the shelf. i will have the fastest shelf on this board. I want to be modest, about my skills, my finances, and who i am... but, i work 20 hour days 6 days a week. I am 22, have no kids, no wife, no concerns, and wouldn't bat an eye at 2g on a turbo. Put simply, this may be the only time in my life where I can purchase such a turbo with such little care, or wife nagging about why we have to live in a box.

I want massive power, lowest spool possible. Although I am in belief that people that whine about their bigger turbos not spooling, i think it is becuase they don't drive it right, down shift. But, once again, my modesty says, i probally suck too, so i want lowest spool possible.
