Simple questions about the 71HTA

[gusu]

So, I know it says it's a "bolt on" turbo. But I wanted to make sure it will bolt on and fit well with FP's manifold with little to no problems. I was also curious as to which WG option to go with, my friend is looking to make 400awhp.

Also is the cover the same size as the 16g or will we have to order a larger intake? I still have yet to see this masterpiece in person and can't wait to see it perform

I don't have one of these, but have experience with similar setups...

The compressor housing is larger than a 16g. You may have to clearance the water pipe slightly, but hopefully not at all.

He needs a 4" intake pipe. I recommend FP's pipe: Forced Performance Turbochargers: FP Aluminum Intake Pipe

I also recommend the internal gate. If he uses that, then the hotside and exhaust will be exactly like a stock turbo, so you can use a regular-style O2 housing and such.

Thanks for the reply, hopefully he will post the results.

He is having Lucas at English Racing tune the car. I'm sure Lucas will work his magic and do one hell of a tune as always.

Yeah that turbo is rated at 51 lb/min so 400 AWHP is achievable with supporting mods. I'd be curious to see what the spool characteristics would be like since this is close to the same turbo as my FP3052 in terms of power-production. Make sure to follow up!
