I've got a B16g now.. 96 Talon TSI stock auto. I just did a 3" turbo back exhaust, VRSF style front mount, DSMlink on the way, 1150 injectors, 255 HP Walbro. Stock 7 bolt except for valve springs, fresh head rebuilt, and head studs.
I have to run 91 octane fuel.. I can get E85, but only 1 pump locally. What turbo should I look at for good pump gas performance? Based on several recommendations, I picked up a T3 HY35.. After lots of research, I'm not sure I want to go to a T3 manifold. The car is a daily driver now with all accessories. The stock radiator and fans work well, I like the downpipe, etc.
So... I'm considering selling the Holset stuff and just buying a new Forced Performance turbo while they're on sale. I've considered the 68HTA, but not sure it's enough turbo for my goal (400+ whp). Does the stock Mits flange limit your pump gas performance? I'm not overly concerned with spool time, as I do have a small wet nitrous kit installed to get it on the converter. I think the FP red (Old or new) will possibly be too much for the stock converter. Has anyone run any of these turbos on 91 octane? FP HTA Green?
