Thanks for the info. I forgot abut that picture .



Yes i was told to go with a big turbine housing, at least the biggest i can fit under the hood. But at the same time i don't want to go to big and my power band start to be in the high rpm, really want something mid to high range. Street cat weekend.

At the same time i really do not want to hit so hard the tires brake loose and make it uncontrollable, if you know what i mean.

Ditch the pport. You are already answering all of your questions. Retain the larger turbine housing so you don't shock load your drivetrain and tires...

Looks like a 1.28 t6 turbine housing will do for now. If needed i will go bigger. I really cannot ditch the pp to much time and money in at this time.

Thanks

I think that will be a good starting point, only you will be able to determine the best one after instrumenting the car and driving it...

True.

I just went ahead and got a 1.44 t4 (not available in t6) housing from a-spec and machined for the 4 inch downpipe.

After speaking with some race guys that actuly ran turbo pp...... the bigger the better.



Thank for you help guys.
