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.

Thanks Kris,
I really appreciate the response there. Funny firewalls, satelite internet etc. seemed to have made me miss your post.
I know this is one of those annoying already been answered a million times before questions, so I appreciate the time everyone's taken in answering.

Your post has me reconsidering exactly what it is that I want and would be the most happy with...

And, yeah, i threw the two grand out there as a ball park, and when I said turbo, i meant the whole package. I don't believe there are that many turbo's if any out there that are actually two grand, but after $400 for 02, etc. it'll easily surpass 2g, and I won't bat an eye at it.

I also know that to reach the full potential of the turbo, I still have a lot more upgrading, supporting mods to do, let alone rebuilding the engine to support that kind of power. I am slowly getting closer though. I do expect to break parts, that's why I bought a dsm instead of a h.o.n.d.a

looks like i have some thinking to do, and a little bit more research, if anyone is familiar with the fp3052 and wants to give it a plug, i'd appreciate it or any other thoughts people have about any turbos in that range.
