Alright, so the build is crawling along, and its about time for me to start looking into picking up the boost maker. Profile isn't quite updated, but here's most the mod list (with some "on the ways")

The 2.3~~
Wiseco .02 over pistons
Eagle H-beams
Butchered 4G64 Crank,
Si Dual Springs /w Ti re's
Dks2's (272/272)
Deleted Bal shafts
Ebay fmic
rewired Walbro 255
Eprom & Dsmlink (on the way's)
And a few other things here and there.

I'm a noob at turbo's :confused:
This is where my questions start, It's going to be a DD/Weekend warrior. I have a few friends that go to the track, and i would like to join them. only problem is some go 1320 and some go Road course. I'd like to be able to see them at both. I've been looking at a 35r, and you have what.. the .62, .70, and .82 ~ I've read a few threads where guys with the .62 say they like it but wish they went with the .70 ~ Why? Would i be better off going with the .62 considering its a DD? What are the major differences i would see going with one over the other?
Also, depending on which A/R i decide to go with Around what size injector would i be looking at?
Lastly, Lately I've noticed alot of people running 35r's are also running 280's. I was under the impression that 280 were fairly unstreet friendly. When i noticed this i did a little looking into it and people are saying that when your running a 2.3 the 280's tend to act like the 272 combo in a 2.0??:confused: Can someone straighten me out on this?

Thanks guys!!!!

Well as you already know, you cant have it all. Youre looking for a twisties/drag race/DD car. Not impossible, but you arent going to outrun twicks69 in the 1/4 or Ludachris in the turns with an all around car.

GT35R, I hear its a good turbo, no personal experience but for road racing, I consider that to be a little big. Think about this combo and look into it - 20g with your 2.3. Cost effective, great for road racing, can make some good power. Rich, "slow old poop" runs this combo (Ive watched him) and I believe he even runs the 272s. Hell of a car. I remember him making 380hp on lower boost, but if you wanted to hit the drag strip you could crank the boost. Road racing doesnt require 40psi ;) Also, very torquey for the street.

Your build looks very similar to mine actually. Im going to be running a little smaller than a 50 trim and 272s for now. Well see how that performs.

Injectors! 1150cc. Youre running DSMlink, so I can say that everyone with a brain will recommend them. 1600s can cause some issues if youre not the best with tuning, but 1150s will handle a good amount of boost with no issues whatsoever.

As for your cams.... check this thread. Make your own conclusions, but I think youll be surprised.

Then if you think you want the 280s, check out what the 272s can do.

Hopefully this is a post to get you thinking. Im by no means an expert!

PM dsm-onster also, he really knows his turbos.
