Just a quick title search for "400hp" yielded 40 threads, some of which would be useful.

You can also check out the dyno section here to see what people are putting down with certain turbos.

I'd go either 20g or HX35. I'd only do a GT35r on a 600+ HP set up.

 

[AK Maniak]

20g FTW!

IMO Max out a 16g first...they make good power while still spooling fast....if your not satisfied with the 16g then upgrade to the hx35 or gt35r

Whats the point of that? He won't get 400hp from a 16g on pump and then it would only cost him more money later on.

how is the hx35 on the 2gen??do anyof you guys know?

 

[RT-AWD]

50-trim or hx-35. I have a 50-trim now and like it!

fp green FTW just put mine on after maxxing out the evo 3 16g and holy smokes. I still havent even maxed it out yet but wow what a difference

 

[EvolutionDSM]

RT AWD how much did you get yours for and where??

I'll bet you can search on "hx35" and find something. I'd link you to the results I get, but my browser does something strange when I paste a results link.

(is this hint too subtle?)

 

[EvolutionDSM]

how much would a hx35 cost?

That "search" works like any other search engine (ie google) , you put it what your tring to find and and "whoop there it is". On a serious note this thread should be deleted or locked.

Look in the classifieds, I got mine with a manifold, dump pipe, and o2 housing for $400

 

[Calan]

Somewhere between $75 and $900, depending on what shape it's in.

20g. MHI reliability, decent spool, and will get you your goal.

I think a good turbo to buy would be a Borg Warner S256. It seems not many people are using the BW turbos. I'm happy with my setup.

They are a good chunk of change though. I think you can get an FP 20g for like under $500 brand new (correct me if I am wrong). Depends on what the OP's budget is I guess. I like me some BW turbos though.

 

[97_TSi]

The FP 20G is actually around $540

Yup. Too bad it comes in T3..

 

[brass420]

EvolutionDSM,

What kind of budget are you working with? No matter what turbo you get, you are going to need some supporting mods to get to 400whp.

I'm going to use this saying because I think it's pretty accurate: "Fast, reliable, cheap...you can only pick two."

 

[kidtsi]

on pump gas FP Green HTA would make 400.

 

[Jeff99GS]

I like the Holset HY-35 it has the same cold side as the HX-35 but a smaller 9cm hot side! They spool up pretty damn quick and should make 400hp easily IMO.

 

[92AWDHX40]

I would go with the 20g for around that hp.
