so for all those that didnt hear, my garrett 50 trim turbo crapped on me due to the nut that holds the compressor blade on came off and f***ed it up. so now im looking at my options for a new snail and more power. my goal has always been around 500hp and i found that i couldnt make that kind power with a little 50 trim with my 2.2 motor.

im looking at:
Turbonetic's GT-k 550
Turbonetic's 60 series 62-1
Percision sc61
Garrett gt35r

all three will be ball bearing CHRA's

i think these turbo's will do the job but im not sure witch one is the best bang for the buck.

jeesh, what are your mods to make that power on a 22t? Ur my new hero.

lol, there are other legacys on here that would give me a run for the money .

50trim garrett turbo runnin 20psi before the turbo popped
22 block .020 over for pistons
stock crank micro polished
eagle rods
wiseco pistons
20g intake manifold
96 LGT 25d heads - stock for now
FMIC with hks bov
invida exhaust
stand alone
AVO 255 pump - will be running twin 255's
565 injectors - will be upgraded to 800cc or higher
AEM wideband
act 6 puck Heavy duty clutch set up

im thinking that the Turbonetic's t3/t4 T66 .63a/r hotside will be my choice of turbo. its rated at 73lbs/min 700hp. Plus is bolts right in to my car! ill be running a turbonetic's external waste gate 38mm or bigger. run the pipe open to the rear of my passanger front wheel .

You need a minimum of the 800cc injectors to take advantage of any of those larger turbos.

i figured that 800cc's would be a minimum cause that turbo is just massive. lol

ima send you a PM about my 525's getting modded if that would do the trick. or maybe buy a set of 800cc-1000cc from HPF.

With N/A cams your are going to be stuck at a little over 300whp. I've worked with a couple cars that have 55-60 lb/min turbos that couldn't get much past that with stock N/A heads.



So, are you looking for 500 chp or 500 whp? There is a huge difference. The local 35R 2.5L cars make around 400 whp on pump gas on a Mustang dyno.



That said, I happen to know someone selling a GT3076R .78 A/R twin scroll turbo with an EL manifold and half a DP. You would need a wastegate and to finish a little bit of plumbing.

i would like 500 crank hp and i know its no easy task. but slowly going up in hp will let me know if i really want that much power. i bought another garrett turbo, a T350 .60 A/R compressor housing. not sure on the size of the inducer and exducer because i haven't takin it apart yet. the exhaust side came with a 1.21 A/R twin scroll T4 that i cant use. so im going to have to buy a T31 T3 housing with the stage 5 76 trim wheel upgrade. i had a set of JDM wrx 20g shimless bucket cams that i was planning on using but, now i need to figure out some other rout. subaru quad cam heads should be able to flow a shit ton of air with no problem. just need a good set of cams and valve springs.
