I dont know about cheaping out, im running a holset hx50 hybrid, if you know your compressor math and flow rates, you can pick a perfect turbo, Holset has one of the best wheel designs.
i can afford pretty much any turbo for my build, i am doing things to this build that may be a bit different from the norm, but that’s the point why should i use what all the followers use.
The car is actually getting built to run circuit, i will actually be running 2 turbo’s, one for some numbers then i will be switching it for a responsive 500whp turbo.
Fuel System almost finished.
Cage and brakes are next.
