thats actually up for debate .. one guy there wants me to go with a small T4.. where some people are suggesting a large T3/T4 .. what do you guys think? .. if I go with T3/T4.. it will probably be the T3/T04E

First, I have to ask, what the **** does IIRC stand for? Second, the T3/T04e .50 is a very popular one, and I can only assume for good reason. I will be using the T3/T04b, but it's more a matter of economics.

First off, you won't need the FMU if you're using SAFC2 and 370's.

Second, I run a T3/T04E and I can tell you now, that 230whp isn't even into the efficiency range of that turbo. It's more at home running 10psi and up (like up to 20psi). I'm currently running 8psi and it's strong, but I'll be bumping up to 12psi in a couple months after some fuel/tuning upgrades.

Also, don't forget that the 370's shouldn't be used much past 250-260whp.

If you're looking for the 250ish whp mark as a peak, I'd say go with a T3 Super 60. Many KA-T guys like it because it gives fast spool (low boost threshold) and still makes pretty decent power on 8-10psi.

Looks like you have everything else covered. Keep us posted on the project and share some photos!

Most of my setup is me trying to keep in mind that i may want to upgrade later, but at the same time trying to keep a budget.. a fuel rail and larger injectors would put me over the edge.. Later I may have the engine built, go with AEM EMS, upgrade to larger injectors, upgrade the radiator, etc.. But before I do that I will get some lightweight stuff to free up HP.. already got an underdrive pulley coming.. looking at getting a fidanza flywheel and an aluminum driveshaft from enjuku.
