Yeah I'm hoping I can get to 500 with the gtx but looking at maybe a 42 or precision to go with the t3 flange on the highmount

you wana keep T3 base? look into MTA900, HTA 3586/3794, or precision. Should all exceed GTX for outright power ;) and be similar in spool. But if your going highmount anyway, why not go T4 twin scrolll? your going to get a good spool out of an even bigger turbo again like a GTX42 or 45

I was speaking to jamie about it. THe weak point I have now is the clutch in the t56, I think its rated at either 450-500kw so if I got a bigger turbo I'd need to spend x amount o either new gearbox setup or clutch which I'm not looking at doing at all.

a t4 with a precision p67 would be great but not really looking to do that

So against my better judgement, probably going to replace the GTX with a Precision 6466. Sounds to be a pretty wicked turbo. Will have it on the 6boost high mount with 60mm turbo smart waste gate

6466 is a sick turbo, mummba is running 2 externals on a 6 boost manifold and has full boost by 2500ish in a manual, its a pretty formidable setup!
