turbo choice

[SLY33]

All

there are SO OOOOOO many thread on turbo choice here, and would like to get some peoples experience with turbos down here ...

I'm thinking of a new turbo in the next few months, and have read the whole high flowing v BB turbo threads ...

I'm in agreement with sydney kid about the whole useable power thing, and a turbo is absolutly no good to me if it does not come on boost until 4500 rpm ...

i'm looking for something to produce about 17psi psi, and start to come on boost at around 3 - 3500 rpm (ish)

I rarely touch near the red line, doing most of my hard driving in the 4-6000 rpm range ..

Its a S2 GTS-T with a hks pod, and turbo back 3", emanage is on its way ....

so what is the best turbo choice for this application ???

you specify: up to 6000rpm, 17psi, good boost response, USABLE power.

Just have a look at my HKS2530 results in the DYNO RESULTS thread. This turbo sounds perfect for what your after, plus you wont have to do injectors or manifold. Most importantly the turbo couldnt be more "useable"! Boost is always there when you want it, and its extremely happy at 1.2bar. All that with low 12second potential, for your specific needs i think youd be pretty happy. Alternatively a highflow for a similar result.
