So I have another question that might help others. Cause this is a big debate myself right now. Is there any good way to determine the best size housing to go with, with "X" turbo? I'm tossing around a few turbos in my head but I'm pretty set on going with a Borg Warner S366 turbo. I've been wanting to go with a divided housing to help spool. But here's the thing. Why would I go with a divided T3 or a divided T4 and how would I know what's the best size? I see some websites saying stuff like, "going anything smaller than a "X" size housing is just stupid. Okay, why? When I see guys with over 600 horsepower with a .55 BEP housing. I know the bigger the housing, the more flow. But the bigger the housing, the slower the spool.
So how does one go about choosing the BEST size turbine housing? Or is it basically just a guess to get as close to possible as what you "think" you need to have? I'm thinking divided T3 with a .78 housing for quick spool and still have great power overall. But for me, that's my guess from looking at everyone else's setup, power levels, and spool. I'm trying to hit that middle ground.
