Best turbo to run on a DD GSR?
I have an EK with a GSR, and after talking with a few people, some reccomended a t3/t04e 57 trim/.63 ar(precision sc34 or a garrett).. but then others said no, because of lag (full boost at 5300~)
It made sense, because my car barelly sees 5k on a daily basis..
Anyone have any other suggestions? I was shooting for 280whp~

I have that same turbo on a gsr motor. Running 9 pounds I see full boost at just under 4k. 252whp hondata stage 2 on a mustang dyno. The turbo does have some lag but with a real nice street tune its smooth.

on my daily driven gsr.....i am currently running a garret/avo gt28r...it would be insane for a street/daily driven setup....if it didnt have an internal wastegate...
depends on how deep your pockets are...in a daily driven scenario...a ball-bearing turbo would benefit you...but they are pricey
gt28rs w/ .82 t3 housing....should be perfect.

that would be my first choice...
second would be my turbo (GT32E) because you can buy two for the price of one GT28rs

how much better is this gt28rs compared to a sc34 or an sc50?
(dont forget.. im a newb when it comes to turbos.. im still learning what all the numbers mean)

that turbo is a good match. if you dont intend to go bigger in the future u can get something smaller. But that turbo is good up to about 400hp so you have some room to play. The lag isnt too bad and its a good turbo for the street unless u get a ball bearing one
