just to give a little background, I'm looking for opinions on my potential turbo set up...
Car is a 96 GSX 2.0 10.5:1 motor on e85, EVO 8 ECU, and all other supporting mods Full 3" exhaust etc,
I'm looking into just keeping my FP Manifold and keeping the stock size mitzu housing turbo's, or upgrading to a true Twin scroll T3/T4 setup..
what are the pros and cons, Obviously price is the main factor of switching to a twin scroll setup and having to buy the new turbo, Manifold, dual wastegates, new down pipe etc.
but will you really see a significant impact in switching? est cost on the low end would be in the $2,000-$3,000 range. im just looking for some guidance for my future goals and if switching would even be worth the investment
but what would you prefer to have?
Currently im on a TDO5h 20g with the FP Manifold internally gated, power goals are in the 350-450 range, and im wanting to have the most area under the graph, Spools quicker ideally in the 3,000-3,500 range, and holds boost through out the entire power band. something with all around great response time to make that 350ish HP/Torque as quickly as possible, and hold it all the way to redline!
i have seen quite a few hybrid turbos show up in the past, like a T3 20g, all of @JusMX141 hybrids he builds, what options are out there for my goals in mind? or should i just stay with where im at!
btw the preference is more in road course than autocross, So longevity is also a key factor to consider when running for 10-20min sessions!
Thanks in advance!
