So I'm looking at the Borg S362 SX-E for my next turbo. I have a older JHRacing 1.5 pipe T4 divided manifold that I will be using with dual 38mm gates. Block is a 2.3L. There are 3 A/R options to choose from turbine housing wise 0.83, 0.91, or 1.00 and I'm having a difficult time settling on which one to get.
Now I know this won't be the fastest spooling turbo out there but it is mainly a street car so keeping the spool down as much as possible is a plus. On the other hand I mainly run pump gas. So those two things being kind of conflicting which is the better way to go? 0.83 trying for best spool? 1.00 going for the most power on pump? or is 0.91 a compromise between both things?
