finding the right turbo

[Blaze4G63]

Im going to be having an engine built for my 1g awd, and im shooting for a good streetable turbo but can make 500awhp to 600awhp, I was looking at the fp 3065 but I have been looking on fp website and it doesnt seem like the make it anymore .Whats a good turbo for this goal? built 2.0L

Budget? GT35r..FP3076HTA, HTA82, Holset HX40, FP Black, FP Green...lots of choices there.

If you're lucky, find a deal on a good used GT3082R and a FP30 turbine housing...build your own 3065.

Otherwise, any of the turbos mentioned above with the exception of maybe the Green will all get you there- just matters whether you're most-concerned about spool, durability, or fitment.

600whp. Streetable. You need to be very liberal with how you interpret "streetable". I dont mind lag at all but then again, i dont/would not daily my dsm. Just try to keep in mind whatever you get when looking for that kind of power wont feel like the 14b that it came with. Its going to have quite a bit more lag.

FP Green XL (76HTA) Full boost around 4k (on a 2.0) 59lb/min, relatively inexpensive, FP quality.

I was in the same boat as you looking for a turbo in the same power range and i decided on an HX40 for my budget and streetable requirements.

Im most concerned with those items in that order, I havent looked up the specs yet for this but i see most people building engines that are seeing 8k-9k revs. Im sure the heads have to be built because I have hks 272s and I think I remember I cant spin more then 7K or my head will apart (stock), but i could be wrong. Also I dont want to spend big money on just dyno pulls I want a turbo to last and I know Im going to need to be external.

Fp 3586 is on sale for a screaming deal. I might pick it up.

I have BC272/272s on a stock 2g head and rev out 8k
