I have been thinking of going single for some time now. So I was thinking of running a T78 on a street ported engine, would this be a good idea or would a T78 be to much. What I am looking for is a turbo setup that does not cost more then 4k. I would like it to put me in the 11's and have good top end power due to the fact that most of the time when I am not at the track the only place I can find someone to play with is on the high-way. A Ferrari that some doctor drives killed me back in the day and I want sweet revenge.



Thanks.

The T78 has been the King single on the 13b for quite a while now. You'd be very happy with it.



BUT



I believe the GT35/40 is giving it a run for the money with a quicker spool up and so far (up to 17psi) equal top end. My 3bar map sensor arrives today, so I'll be pushing up into the 20psi range with my GT35/40 setup soon.

On the freeway, I (GT35/40) put the smack down on the local T78's. Instant spool and I pull a car on them...then they never catch back up...Nice for when racing Vipers and other Torque beasts as they don't get a chance to "get away" while you are waiting for the T78 to spool.



Ran a '99 Viper GTS several times a few weeks ago and pulled on him instantly every run, then kept on pulling and pulling and pulling... (and that was only running 15.5psi)

Actually for A LOT less money the stock twins will plant you in the mid 11's lol



Why do you need a $4K single if you only want to hit 11's

small turbo and when it's on a little laughing gas. I guess it depends on the set-up and tuning. GO E6K first and streetport.
