I have a 98 GSR and am looking into turboing it but I have not decided what I want to do yet. (Custom or Revhard) I want to have anywhere from 300 to 350 whp on a daily driver, but once I get that I am sure that that won't be enough and that I will want more, probably as much as 450 whp for the track. My question is what turbo should I go with?

I hear T3 b/c of how quick it spools
I hear T3/T4B b/c of how quick it spools yet gives a lot more power to reach 450 whp.
I hear T3/T4E is what most people use, it spools up a little slower but will definitely be enough to get 450 whp.

Thanks for your help, I am looking to be boosting by the end of this year.

 

T3/T04e... Lag is your friend in a FWD car. Pulls like beast up top.

 

lag is definitely your friend. to4s even pulls better. 10% more airflow.

 

MotorMatrix...I see you are from South Florida....I am from St. Petersburg...where do you get your engine work done?

 

We do all our engine work in house. The only thing sent out for is headwork and machine work in general.

 

I'm near St Pete. I live in Clearwater. I have been working on my setup since December. It's coming along damn good. We have some good local shops. I would recommend Secret Services. I know John from Secret Services is on this board too. A T3/T04E would be fine. I know people making impressive power with them. I'm going with a Garrett GT3040.
