Default Help Convince me on what turbo to buy

I'm looking at 3 turbos right now for my setup B16 84mm custom t4 twin scroll manifold.
looking to make about 650 to 700 hp in a 99 coupe

GTK-850-most expensive
Full Race-T4/t67 HO BB (GT037R)
Precision SC6262-least expensive if journal bearing

I have heard a lot of good things about the Full Race turbo, good spool, good power and it's priced pretty well.

The GTK850 on the other hand i have not heard very many things about. Seems like these GTK's go on more
twin turbo setups on V8's then on 4 cylinders, but they have a really good "no questions asked" warranty.

Then the precision turbo seems like its going to be a really sweet turbo. I have talked to a few shops across the
country and they say the billet wheel is the $h*t, and if go with a journal bearing setup is really cheap.

I'm open to your opinions and criticisms guys i just need help choosing

if you decide to go with a precision 6262 talk to Adam@maperformance.com cool guy.. i dont know for sure tho that precision has that in a twin scroll yet... i just purchased one from him ball bearing, ported shroud..it'll be in Tuesday... exciting!! lol anyway, i've seen really good power in a similar build... Good luck... oh and btw adam has awesome prices, i've looked around on a few things and he's beat everyone so with any turbo check prices with him! GL again...

I was looking at the BW stuff and a bubby of mine just got one so i was going to let him try it out while i got a different one. He is on a totally different setup though full-race top mount, B18.

That's not going to change the power output, simply on how it is delivered.

Not sure if you've thought about GT35R, but my BF is selling one at a pretty decent price... i think it only has about 2k miles on it, not to try to steer you away or anything..lol just incase you might not have thought about it, it made awesome power right at where you wanna be... and if you're thinking about the BW 366 i have a friend selling that too... i know you mentioned your friend had one, but like i said, just incase!
Good Luck!
