I've been told I need to upgrade clutch & driveshafts before I look to make 500hp atw...or I wont be making it for long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as everyone has told me, its the tune, not the turbo that makes it linear.Other ppl have suggested the precision 62 range of turbos, guess ill be doing a lot of reading before I choose.Thanks again for the advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 2m 18d Posted 04/03/15 05:47 AM Share Posted 04/03/15 05:47 AM Whats your budget is a factor too. The precision 6235 and one of the efr borg warners (ratter tuned one, can't remember the model number) are quick spooling turbos but make decent power up top. however these are at the upper end of the costs scale by time they're on the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havent cemented a budget, will do research and shop for a deal. Does more expensive mean better? or are there cost efficient turbos that would do the same job for less?

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 2m 18d Posted 04/03/15 11:42 AM Share Posted 04/03/15 11:42 AM Well the more expensive turbo's seem to 'generally' to either spool quicker or make more up top than the cheaper equivalent, but there's a lot of factors that go into that also. I would look at a gt3540, gtx3576, pte6235, mta750 and efr8374 (someone confirm the borg warner model number).All will achieve your ultimate goal of 500hp, how they achieve it and how much they go over it varies. Reliability of the turbo, ease of fitment and price are all factors that vary between them. Plenty of info on those turbo's around 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
