[http://www.evans-tuning.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2032](http://www.evans-tuning.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2032) that is a 81.5mm bore which is like 1820cc and did 605whp at 24psi. that turbo is good to almost 30psi and with a bigger motor(2.0) will will do 500whp with ease ---

Garret GT30R !!! [www.slowboyracing.com](http://www.slowboyracing.com) If i had it all to do over again i would buy the same turbo i did last time. Super quick spool up, and people have made 500+ whp with them. Mine did 470 to the wheels, on 24 psi with conservative tuning. My compression ratio is similar to the 4g63. Or if you wanna go a little bigger, the GT35R ---

> [@BlueMeanieTSi](#): > > the scm61 last i saw was only rated 540…u sure you’re not thinking of their 60 trim? SCM61 is the shitty DSM flanged turbo with internal gate :greddy: so of course it is rated at less. I am talking a true SC61 with TO4S cover. if you want to make 500whp why would you use a internal gate? and as for compression the difference in displacement makes up for the difference in compression by far. compression does very little to spool a turbo contrary to popular belief. I think earl benson from benson machine said it best when he said “compression does shit for spool. the way a turbo spools is based on gearing since boost is a byproduct of load.” ---

Garrett GT-3076R dual ball bearing turbo. Might be a little nicer on the street… [http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33742&item=7978230998&rd=1](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33742&item=7978230998&rd=1) You should really sit down with a calculator and some flow maps. Get your motor setup all plotted out and run some numbers to see what will actually meet your needs. I ran my 7-bolt through some numbers and ended up going with a 66-trim T04. My goal is 450hp max on race fuel with decent streetability in mind. Shouldn’t be hard at all. ---

id get a forced performance turbo personally if that was my budget. i was going to buy an evo 3 or 50 trim but found my hx35 for under 500 bucks with 5000 miles on it. I couldnt pass it up. the wastegate only goes down to 22lbs though ---

My goal is 450hp max on race fuel with decent streetability in mind. Shouldn’t be hard at all. you could have easily made 450whp on a 50 trim with a .8x A/R exhaust side on pump with a better flowing head though ---
