hey
i know i know not another turbo thread but just a quick question im lookin for about 400-450bhp from my saff and what turbo?

thanks

 

one of the T38 Variants.

 

t38 or maybe a t4

 

the t38 ballbearing is the one to go for i personally wouldnt go t4

 

For 450 im going for the T4

Steve

 

for 500 im going T4

 

i would only use a t4 for 480-520 ish 400-450 i think is just a little bit laggy when there is a t38 to do the job that little bit better
i was always taught that spec the engine to just above the bhp you want this way you will get the most responsive engine

 

T4 rollerbearing is the way forward m8 with a big kick in the arse

Steve

 

yes i no wat you mean a roller earing t4 is good but if your looking for 450 bhp why use a turbo capable of 520 hp when there is a t38 that gives you that little bit more throttle response and drivability !
but each to there own everyone has a differnt idea of how they would like there car to be

 

true, i normally decide what bhp i want and find the smallest turbo to achieve the BHP. but some people love that massive push back to the seat type boost

 

Don't want to be a bore, but what other mods have you made? May effect turbo choice.
