Re: Thoughts/options on turbo

If I were you, Id run the S300SX 88-75 (62m). It's a 75lb/min turbo so it's capable of getting you to 700hp in <40psi. Depending on your supporting mods, I bet 35psi would get you there. Plus then you have the responsiveness of a smaller turbo for fun street driving. Plus the S300SX turbos are off the shelf BW units and can be found all over for incredibly low prices.

If you want to spend a little more and stick with BW, you can consider the newer S300SXE 83-76 (62mm). It's got slightly updated tech on the compressor wheel, and thus is rated at the same 75lb/min with a slightly smaller (exducer) comp wheel. But you'll pay a couple hundred more for that.

Bang for the buck though I'd say is still the S300SX 88-75. Plus the thing will take a pounding like all BW stuff seems to do.
