on all these turbo swaps and such what are most useing for turbos. i never have really looked into what the stockers are. plus i have not messed to much with them. or how large you really need. is a t3/t4 hybred to large or is that about what your running?

when you say how large the stockers are...did you know the stock 240 doesnt have a turbo?

as for what turbo it depends on how much power you want really

some people are running brand new ball bearing garretts, some like you said t3/t4 in some way shape or form

It all depends on your goal to what size you should get.

ya i understand this and i understand 240 dont have stock turbos. was just more of a exuast pressure question. i mean does the 240 but out anuf to really spool up the mid to larger turbos.

Look in the ka-t section. People are making awesome power.Ivan made 638hp 599tq fiznat made 420hp a lot of people have over 300hp or close to it.Turbo's spool nice just have to have a clean setup and good tuning.

i dont mess with turbos anymore. i have learned my lesson. i was running unlimited boost just for those times when you might need it. ah never the less it had a major melt down. but i won the race.

As long as you win But their goes all your work and $$$.Unlimited boost......Just be careful when building it and tune it carefully before racing.

yes was just more curious about what size turbo seems to work the best on a base lvl turbo project. Seeing how i have built a 2.4lt in a mustang and we used the t3/t4. wondered about the exuast pressure. and what seems to be the choice of many. what kinda boost do most you run on bottom line internals? because we seemed to be running real high boost on our 2.4 with the stock internals.
