Re: turbo recommedations

All depends on what you prefer.

PTE is probably going to net you the fastest spooling and most power per mm. But you're going to pay for it. Reliability is a touchy subject, so I'll just say they are not an OEM, so take that for what you will.

BW SX / SX-E is probably going to net you slightly slower spool and slightly less power per mm in comparison, but they are very affordable and built like a tank as they are an OEM. EFR also isn't a bad option when building a turbo system from scratch as it has the obvious tech advantages, but with options with built in WG's/BOV's/etc. the added cost isn't actually as bad once you factor in all those adders.

Garrett you're going to get a really nice turbo that makes power, spools decent, and has OEM level quality. However you are going to pay for it.

Holset I know nothing about so I can't speak to.


I personally run the Borg's for their value. All kinda depends on what you are going for. There is no right or wrong choice.
