hehe incredibly so.

As stated above, the T3/T04E .50 trim is pretty much the most efficient streetable turbocharger for the KA24DE...in boost pressures around 10+ psi. I'm currently running that same turbo at 8-9psi and, while it feels good, it's still not quite into the sweet spot of the efficiency range.

The turbocharger you choose will highly be determined by your power goals and the boost pressures at which you want to operate.

If you could give a few more details as to the intended use of the vehicle, we could help you out a bit more.

On another note, they read lbs/min because CFM is not an accurate measurement. 200CFM of air at sea level has a higher density than 200CFM of air at 3,000 feet.

Just a little FYI.

Because you might have to actually take the time to get a local barometric pressure (which happens to be commonly found on your local news station's weather website).

Its basiclly going to be a street warrior, with some time at the track, Im waiting for the Turbo240 bottom mount to come back out, Because I like the bottom mount style and all and the placement of the turbo. Any more wisdom from up above? I know Klattr is running a SC61, but hes been in it for a long time now

An SC61 is quite a bit larger than a T04E 50 Trim haha.

T3/To4E .50 trim compressor wheel, .60 A/R compressor housing, .76 trim T-31 (Stg. III) turbine wheel, .63 A/R exhaust housing.

Should make full boost by 3500-3800 RPM.

Yeah, they're great, but man you're talkin' about $1,000+ when you can get the T3/To4E hybrid brand new for $650-700 brand new.

No - you can get a brand new factory remanufactured one for $400 if you email me.
