I'm thinking about the AGP 60 trim. You can found it on the link above to the right. I figure if they're selling all of the rs turbos for the same price then you might as well go big:cool: So I just want to hear what u guys think of this big boy. I'm thinking going 4" inlet and 2.5" outlet. Not sure the differences between the T31 and T350 wheels. Also I want the internal gate. Damn good turbo for $900 shipped.
 
what are your goals? a 50 trim is much better suited to a mostly street car.
 
Yea 50 trim man, thats what Im getting. The RS60 is god damn big, more of a strictly race car kinda turbo I would think. Listen to the guy above^ he knows what hes talking about most of the time.
 
Ok this is gonna sound really stupid, but oh hell..... I want a 4" intake baby!!!!..... yeah

I know that 50 trims are great pump gas turbos so that is probably what I will go with. There are just so many versions and so many places to get them you can understand how I am confused. I need to decide on my turbo so all the rest parts can be bought around it. My goals are 400whp on pump gas and then 500whp with nitrous.
 
400 whp is alot on pump gas my man. think more like 325-350. thats way more attainable. i cant even name 5 people ive *heard* of making 400 on pump. if you buy a 50-57-60trim you can make 400whp on race gas well tuned. forget nitrous for now. pick your turbo and build your combo around it. try http://www.agpturbo.com/ for your turbo. i bought mine from them and got a great price and had the turbo in 4 business days from when i ordered it. bolted right up with *0* problems. very happy with them and my turbo. good luck.
 
what octane is considered race gas? there are shell stations around here that have 100 octane for premium but the other places have 93.

From agp they have the rs49 and then the 60. It just seems for the same price might as well go bigger.

come back when you actually have a car:rolleyes:
 
A 60 trim is just a larger wheel than the 50 trim. A 60-1 is a larger turbo, bigger compressor wheel, and a bigger comrpessor housing with a large inlet.

If you want to be fast at the track on race gas buy the 60-1. If you want to be fast on the streets with 93 octane buy the 50 trim.

How well do the hybrids (especially 50 trim) take to nitrous? I'm gonna go the smart way and get the 50 trim. Since running on the streets is the most important to me.

No way dude nitrous is not for amateurs. Ive seen the way you drive. You have a heavy foot. You will blow yourself to pieces.
 
Why dont you just forget nitrous? Its starting to sound like youve watched TFATF too much. A well supported 50 trim will make your car plenty fast, fast enough to kill yourself in. I say that because you dont sound like you know what your getting yourself into. Sorry to sound like a dick but you shoul research a little more before jumping into this project. Best of luck to you though......

And watch out for the Asian gang members with sub-machine guns on bikes.

:laugh:

Stick with the 50trim, with careful tuning you can achieve the 400 hp goal. It will take a LOT of work though, as it would with any turbo.
 
Damn guys have you not seen me here since the beginning. I know what I'm doing and I've seen enough high hp 4g63's running nitrous with great results. You simply can't change my mind about that. As for fnf, I am one of the original haters. The day that shit came out I was there bashing it. I'm not one of those dumb####s who thinks "nos" is cool because it will blow the floor boards off.
 
I'll have a 49 in a few days. I was gonna go with a 16G for now, but i got ripped off by a fellow member who sold me a 16G ("feels like a 10,000 mile turbo, little shaftplay" I get turbo, inducer wheel is totally destroyed and the wheel hits the housing when i wobble it, thats not a little shaftplay. thanks RED91TSIAWD)

Sorry needed to vent, but i'll have my RS 49 ordered in the next few days :O
