I do want to post and say this: choosing the correct turbo for your application is complicated. You need to have a thorough understanding of a minimum of the following:
Desired application (road racing, drag, top speed, etc) and it's unique needs (responsiveness, big numbers, top end, low end, etc., and the proper balance of all those).Engine throughput (x CFM @ x VELOCITY @ x RPM @ x THROTTLE LOAD)Turbo Theory (Adbiatic efficiency, compressor and impeller maps, etc)Turbo Design (Ball-bearing vs shaft, hybrid vs pure, blade design, A/R trim, etc)
And finally, the know-how to put it all together. My advice to you is to either stick with a tried and true setup, or get the books out and start learning.
