I am looking for the four best (best performance, best reliability, best price, best kit) single turbochargers. I am planning on going single over winter as my project and need expert advice. I am also going to put that infomation onto my website
twinturborx7.com
which after the upgrade would be
turborx7.com
I want the turborx7.com to be a good page all about singles while the twinturborx7.com would be about, obviously, the twins.
Thanks!

best reliability with stock port = To4e a/r .84 P trim ex
best performance on the street for a daily driver with a side port = To4s a/r 1.0 P trim ex
best performance drag racing = T series turbo's, but it all depends on the port your running as to which one will work for you.
best price = one of those turbo kits used

Not for the price.
That's the TO4-R, Jet-Hot coating on the exhaust side, Polished compressor housing and V-Band welded on.

The R is a great turbo, but it's worthless compared to the S unless your going to boost 1.3-1.4 + with it because it won't make any more power than the S at the lower boost levels.

you could still buy a S and over haul it twice for that much.. lol
It's all good. The turbo was only 850. I opted to get the other **** just because...
Where the hell do you get **** so cheap anyway?

I think a T51 would make a great street turbo or a T04Z
