Im thinking of using a GT3071 on it TBH, even though its way bigger than I need, I just really like the way those turbos deliver their power, and it looks like the evo setup you use would have no chance of fitting in my bay, unless you can rotate it so the inlet doesnt poke as far towards my headlight?
Will talk to you about it once the engine is in though as its no doubt you I'll be coming to for the manifold and downpipe anyway, and until its in there I really am only guessing!
The Evo setup is the most responsive we've used to date. Something slightly cheaper with better responce is a custom Precision turbo we had done (just a jornal bearing) it would do around 480hp max but is a very nice compact turbo.
With the Td05 been twin scroll its a bit on the large side as you say. Of course, we haven't tried to keep the kit as compact as it could be because there isn't a reason to. Yours would no doubt be a custom kit so I don't suppose it'd matter really. The main reason the inlet is twisted is actually to clear the Aircon pump should customers wish to retain it.
