Dont you hate it when you are trying to plan something and then you realize that you shit all about it? Suffice to say, I’ve had this happen to me; Turbos are a bit of a fuzzy area to me, as in what is the best turbo for an 2.4L application looking to gain boost in the area of 2500 - 5000 RPMS.

I was looking into the T25 or T28 but dont know how quick they spool and what would be the optimal choice for this…

I’m trying to keep to turbos with internal wastegates, to save on exhaust piping…

Thanks, Chris

A T25 on a KA… Those turboes are to small for 2.0L engine let alone a 2.4.

The AMS GT32 is very good for the price and it can put down 400 HP. 2871R are good for power and response but cost 2.5 times more than the GT32.

What kind of power do you want???

A T3 from a Z31 300ZX will do fine then, and they are cheap.
