In the market for a turbo for my 2G fwd,and wanted to know whats a good turbo choice for 350-400hp.

Evo3 16g or td05 20g. Or if u can get a good deal on an fp68hta still. These would need an install kit if u still have the stock t25.

Past that, idk if a super t28 would get u there quite, or if u could find one for a worthwhile price.

Maintwnance and supporting mods are the absolute first thing you should do before thinking of a bigger/more capable turbo.

You should fill out your profile with existing items or mods done, so we can give you a better suggestion.

I would get a fp 68hta or 20g. What's your goals/plans for the car? How will it be used? If your going bigger with power I would invest in a good lsd and sticky tires also fill out your profile so we know what else your working with. What's your plans for fuel and tuning?

A T28 on E85 should get you around 350 - 400 crank horse with all the proper supporting mods and a good tune.

Better yet has he done the equal length half shaft mod? on my laser with a 16g set at 18psi that was the single biggest improvement I ever made to it, it stopped trying to pull me into traffic or off the road when I stomped on the gas in a low gear. Turbo choice? I'd suggest a 16g variant for 350, 20g/68hta for 400+ I have the tdo6 68hta and I'm actually getting rid of it for a 16g, top end is nice but I'm not a big fan of running my car near redline on a daily basis.

Getting 350+ out of a 16g is no easy task, not many can do it without e85. You'd have a lot more margin for error with a 20g or larger turbo.

To clarify, I meant crank horsepower as OP never specified. wheel takes quite a bit of supporting mods.

I'm actually going to say look into a 50 trim. It'll get you to your goal easy on pump gas. I use to own a 2g fwd and it was a blast to drive with a 50 trim. Like others have said if you're looking to make that power to the wheels it might be tough with a 16g on pump gas.

Here's a baby rant

If you have to ask what turbo, I have to ask if you have ever changed a timing belt by yourself

If you have done your own timing belt I have to ask what fuel pump and injectors you have

If you have done the fuel system I have to ask what sort of engine management system you are using

Once you do all of those mods I can tell you exactly what turbo you want.
