My goals 10-11 sec car. Its going to be mostly street driven and taken to the track not so often. Ive been looking and 20g's and 50 trims and ive heard good and bad about them but I just recently looked at the SCM-6152 and was kinda interested. Any imput is fine thanks.

I would go with the SCM61. You would never have to upgrade again. If I were you, I would definately upgrade your downpipe to 3". Now I have a question for you, why are you running 3 fans?

How many threads do you need to start to determine which turbo to get?

You dont have to make a new thread every time you have a new question about a different turbo. Just FYI.

You need cams first. You won't get the full performance from the SCM61 without going to a sheetmetal intake and 3" downpipe also. And if you want the full performance of the 61mm compressor wheel in that turbo, then get a SC61 with a T3 exhaust housing, T3 exhaust manifold, an external wastegate, and a good O2 housing.

Ecoli is right. Nobody said it was gunna be cheap. You cant just get a bigger turbo and expect it to get you into the 10s.

ok cool thanks ecoli for the exhaust housing would .63 A/R better or .82 A/R be better? And for the compressor cover what is the difference from "E" and "S"

And your right M.98GSX nobody did say it was going to be cheap not even me?

With the level of questions you're asking, you shouldn't be looking at anything larger then what you already have.
