WHAT KIND OF POWER COULD I LOOK AT WITH THIS SETUP...any suggestions on anything i might need that i could forget

 

oh and forgot one

golden eagle block gaurd

 

bump for a reply

 

400+ horsepower. Depend on the tune.

 

less than 400whp because that turbo will run out of breath

 

why do you think it will run out of breath i heard they were good for 450...but im just saying...i am in now way sure at all

 

also...today i sent my turbo back to turbonetics to get a rebuild...is $450 to much to pay...they said they would even give me a call back cuz it could cost as much as $550

agreed. ur kit seems to be limiting you. i would definitely upgrade if u want more than 400hp

 

really...what do yo think that my kit will max at

 

You'll reach a little over 400 HP but pretty much maxing out the turbo. With a built bottom end like yours I'll get a turbo that will have more room to grow if need it to.

 

alright...well i am not sure but what size is the intake side of the turbo...if the exhause is .63 ar

 

bump for more opinions

 

how thick is the head gasket? with the low compression pistons already in you dont wanna go with something too thick as it will drop your compression down very low.

2.5" downpipe on the kit will limit you, combine that and the turbo will probly run out of juice before you get to 400.

450-550 is a lot for a rebuild as brand new garrett t3/t04es are less than 600.

which would have also give you the option to sell you turbo and upgrade to a larger one.

 

good god, i would just buy a brand new turbo, and that turbo is good for like low 400s

 

yeah but...its still cheaper to rebuild it and...they will fully rebuild it...so it will be brand new

 

bump

 

alright talked to turbonetics on friday and they told me my turbo was an old model and pretty much everything was bad on it and they didnt carry the older parts anyway...so i have to get a new turbo...and i will...but in your opinion how bad is the 2.5 in. piping going to limit me and if i get the new turbo will i be able to get more power with my setup
