I think Sydneykid spells out a good guide.

What is the Garrett equivalent of the GT2530? With the good responses with the 2530 we've already seen (~230rwkW) I don't know what else is better suited.

I'll vote for the 2530 for up to 240rwkw, being its absolute max.

Some time ago when Tilbrooks featured the RB20DET 220rwkw R31 (White) I asked Martin at the time where it made full boost(1.1bar) he said around 3800rpm on the street.

This is very near the stock RB20DET turbo which on mine makes 1.1bar around 3500rpm.

I've also had a VG30BB Ceramic Exhaust wheel turbo, that made 1 bar at around 4000-4100rpm, loading it up would see 1bar by around 3600rpm. It did feel laggy and crap though. When power came on it didn't come on strong and didn't feel like it had much more over the stock RB20DET turbo up top. It felt to me that the car due to the extra lag was slower on the street over the stock setup.

im getting very close to getting my 2530 tuned!

you wont need z32 afm with a setup like this unless you run high boost levels.

eg for my setup with std comp ratio i plan to run a comfortable reliable 1.1bar maybe just a tad more, and have an easy 230+rwkw.

Hey Sly, are you sure of this?!?

I have only a stock turbo running 12psi, any higher than this i either get boost cut or air flow meter maxing out... at 230+ rwkW surely the AFM will be showing more than 5V

when you're reaching 230rwKw or more would you need a fuel pressure regulator?

obviously an upgraded fuel pump is needed but a regulator? how much are these neway?

oh and does anyone know a TRUST turbo that's comparable to the GT2530 and the 3040?

lukits01, according to a comparison chart I have, trust equivelant of 2530 would be a TD05 18G.

They dont make an equivelant of 3040, which is between a TD06 25G and a T67.

how much are these neway?

$150ish

I had to replace my standard AFM with a Z32AFM because it was maxing out at about 190kw too.

I have one of the turbos mentioned in this thread on my car now, namely the HKS 2530.

Its a pleasure to drive and I would choose this turbo again. It feels a lot better than my high flowed standard turbo.

hey fellas, when does the factory turbo max out? is it 190 or 210 rwkw?

And when will the 2510 max out? If its the same rwk or just a bit more why change? the 2510 isnt more responsive than the factory unit is it?

Cheers
