Ok I'm in the last stages of my build/restore. While the car is out for paint I'm wanting to get the turbo kit squared away. I'm looking between the FP Black and HX35. My goal is 500hp on 93 and meth. I have all supporting mods already, just can't decide on a turbo. Price isn't really a factor betwween the two, just looking for the best turbo to suit my needs(nice powerband, will just be driven out in country twisties.) I know there are a few different options on the Holset, I'm just looking for a turbo that isn't going to be super laggy with the built 2.0, but still make the power I'm looking for on pump/meth. I'm open to options to if anyone has any better suggestions.
 
People are on crack if they think the HX35 with the bolt on BEP housing will make 500 WHP on 93+meth. Only fully supported maxed out setups on E85/e98/C16 at 35+ PSI are making that in the small .55 AR housing with the HX35. Definitely need the T3 .70, or 12CM in a true twin scroll setup with his fuel setup.

Thats a lot of boost on a FP Black.
not for an FP black it isn't.

I haven't ran a HX-35 or 40 so I can't compare, but just for reference here is my Dyno chart on a JB FP black (not ported), ported FP manifold, low compression 2.0L 6-bolt motor ( 8:1 Wossner pistons ), ported head, HKS 272 cams, stock intake manifold, E-85, touching 34 psi.

im hoping to get up there to 808 this fall will my fully supported hx40, so we'll see what i can squeeze out of the .55 housing. i wanted quicker spool as this car will see way more street time than track time.
