Well Im wanting to make my DD a 400 to 450hp car. What turbo and injectors can get me there fairly easy? I can only run pump gas....91 octain i think is highest here. I have almost all supporting mods but turbo and right size injectors. After the 18th I should find out if I can get my FMIC kit or not(dealing with court).
 
I ran 780's on a 50 trim up to 25 psi and still had room to go.

I just noticed you have V3, get some big injectors like some 1250's or even 1450's. You can control them with the V3 so you will have room to grow if you ever decide to go for more. Will even be able to handle E85 if you ever decide to go that way.

I plan on running some 950cc's myself, paired with a 20g to hit somewhere around 400whp.
 
How much money are you wanting to spend and how long will 400hp be enough. I know 400 didn't last me long and I've had to spend even more getting a new turbo and bigger injectors.
 
Buy once and save a lot of money. Get something that is bigger than what will just get you by, then you can squeeze more out of it when you feel the need for more.
 
I think 450 is more than enough for a DD. I was thinking about a 20g and it seem to have the best price. I also been reading on the holsets and been debating one of them as well.
 
Dont forget the trusty old tried and trued 50 trim, a lot of people dog the garret's but i built mine myself at the end of my aprenticeship at majestic turbo in WAco TX. and it's lasted well over 100K hard miles, and for over 3 years now has ran daily at over 25psi (27 is the norm) making 438hp on the dyno, with e85 and 1000cc injectors ( i would prefer some 1450's though or even some 1200's) also y turbo is a 57 trim, but the 50 will do the same and if properly taken care of last you a long time

I have the stock 1g oil feed line from the head cut halfway and spliced to -3 AN SS line to the turbo feed and not a single issue with it at all after all these years and miles (as before well over 100k, this is the 3rd engine, so much use and abuse the impeller's are really worn and sitll made the 438hp, and has absolute zero play in the shaft except the little side to side it had when first built)

other than that i solely run synthetic, don't have a turbo time and only use a minute or two of slow 25mph driving to cool it off since i'm runnin water to it as well as synthetic oils. I'm sur eit will last another 1000k miles if the car does and the blades don't take any more abuse :D
