Turbo choice..Will the trim really affect sppol that much?
hey guys.im pieceing together a turbo kit.doing it right with good quality products(ex:sls manifold 
)as for the turbo im going to use a garrett t3/t4 series.this will be going on a stock gsr.
My choices are either a 50 trim or 57 trim with .63ar.im just wondering how much of a diffrence spool time will be.if anyone can chime in on what they use that would be greatly appriciated.i just figure id ask h-t masters before i buy anything big
PS:I tried to search but couldnt get an exact answer.but feel free to falme if u must,thanks

What are you power goals. If your concerned about spool time, find a the smallest turbo and trim that meets your goals.

how much money you trying to spend.
SC50 /.48 would get you there will nice spool
GT30R would be even better.

this guy right here gets nice deals... can get anything you want almost.. at a good price.
these are the garrett turbos', he has borg turbo's for cheaper same sizes...
as far as spool time if you want fast spool , go with the .48 exhaust housing, just get the 57 trim with the smaller exhaust housing. check my sig. two different stock gsr set ups i made 300-320whp with a .48 exhaust housing... had plenty of people tell me i coudln't do it... lol

People see the typical 57trim/.63 stg3 exhaust turbo @10psi and somehow think the .48ar exhaust is tighter than a virgin *****.
There's a difference between never seeing it done, and it being impossible. Bandwagoneers that can only recite numbers and not put give you calculations HOW it won't work. <U>Nothing is cooler than maxing your motor out with a turbo thats just barely starting to work hard, all of HT knows that</U>.
Get a 57trim with a .48 wheel and a 2.5 or 3bar MAP sensor. If its a street car, you'll be happy. 15-20psi on pumpgas will give you more than enough power, but the .48ar will help it spool early and quick.
