im wanting to know the best turbo to get? only going to be running 8-9lbs at the absolute most only looking for 175-200 hp. motor is strong great compresion across the board. I dont want an ebay turbo from what ive heard
t-25 is alot of peoples choice and some like the 14b but say its to small if i was looking at a t3 50 trim maybe .48ar? also is it a must to do the fuel pump with a walbro 255 and since im not looking for crasy number?? thanks alot and sorry if this has been asked over and over again just looking for a solid answer

Garrett t3 super 60 .48 a/r 565$

 

There's no chance in hell he can make that power NA...great advice I agree the parts in the link are not worth buying.

If you're going to boost your car reliably, you need to research and understand what you're doing. The FAQ may not exactly answer your questions, but will guide you to setups with similar goals to yours. Forget the PSI goal for now and focus on a power goal...keep it less than 220-240whp. For those goals, find a T3 Super60 .63ar or T3/To4B 50 trim .63 ar and be on your way. There are cheaper OEM turbos that may work, but the effort involved to make them work, isn't worth your time. Go with a new or gently used Garrett, like the ones listed above.

 

I'm glad someone said said it cause 175-200whp on a y8 would cost me more then the cars worth lol but thank you for the advice. I think I'm going to go with the 50 trim seeing is how u can't buy a manifold for the t25
