I am asking for everyone's opinion on what turbo upgrade you would go with if you had $3500 - 4k to spend. The reason I am asking this is because I would hat to buy a turbo upgrade that I would feel later on was a waste of my time and money. I am looking for a turbo that will have a good power response, put me in the 11's or beater and have good top end power, and is very reliable. Just want to explore all my options.



Thanks

I was talking to a good friend of mine and told him I was thinking of a T78 which would be cool but he told me sum thing about the garrett GT35/40. how much of a difference in power and lag is there between the T78 as opposed to the GT35/40?

i did notice you said response.... i just decided on the m2 twin upgrade... you might want to look that up. from what i understand there is instant response at all rpm range.. it's good for about 400 hp at 19 psi... 360 hp at 15 psi to the wheel...

you need to go bigger than a t04e, the stock turbos are t04e sized

my friend makes 380rwhp@17psi and 345@13psi on the stock turbos, this is what a t04e will do, so if your going to go single get something bigger, t04s?
