I plan to run atleast 15 psi, and i found some turbos on turbochargers.com

-T3/T4E 57 Trim, .48 or .63 A/R

or

-T3/T4E 60-1 Trim, .63 or .82 A/R

Which one should i buy, or are these not the right ones at all?

depends on what you want... either quick spool or large dyno queen numbers... you deside... I myself plan on going with the 60 trim with the .82 or is it .86 AR since my KA is tuned for daily driving and intend to keep it like that

If you want the highest efficiency from a turbo in that price range and boost go for the Turbonetics T3/T04E 50 Trim .63A/R and the Stage 3 wheel from cheapturbo.com

Stock C5 coupe traps ~108-109mph...

I trap 110 @ 12psi from a T3/T04E 57-trim, .63 A/R Stage III wheel. (Est ~290rwhp)

Therefore, I can "take" a 'Vette. And have...

But I say buy the 50-trim..better compressor than the 57, and wil still do ~400rwhp if needed.

With two people in the car ... 238whp / 250ish wtq. my friends S13 outran a C5 vette pretty well.

It doesnt take much to outrun a vette. Z06's on the otherhand... I'd suggest 300whp or so.

Of what you listed... I'd take a 0.62 a/r 57 Trim.

How much money you want to spend on the turbo is also a consideration. I'd buy the GT30R if I wasn't a cheap SOB...

I agree with WD, he's pretty much the smartest guy I know. I wish he were gay so we could be lovers.

Automatic?

Or a sh!tty C5 driver...

238rwhp/250rwtq does not equal +108 trap speeds (especially with 2 people in the car).

My buddy's C5 now has the Z06 intake manifold and exhaust on it, and we are DEAD even most races...

what would it it be like if I myself baught a 50 trim with a .82 AR on it? when do you all think it will boost and how much will it produce? im not looking for a quick boost since the car is aimed towards daily driving more than racing

ok, most power is what i'm after without having to sacrifice not being able to drive on the streets, so no like t60 or t88 turbos, but what's the best turbo, that will still fit a boost designs manifold
