Herro. What turbos are you considering going to?

Ive been looking at the ams 30 or 35. I rather just drop in the turbo then go rotated but I dont know which drop in turbo will get me to 400whp.Been reading around,the guys at the shop say go ams but im not so sure yet.

Personally, I would go with a 30r sized turbo if you dont want to get into headwork. You can get 400whp out of that pretty easily and continue to build more and more power with some bolt ons later. I always look to buy parts that stay. I might even have built heads before I get my turbo. Just remember that any part you have to replace is money lost. If you're hell bent on a 35r, I have one sitting around that I most likely will be parting with.

that good info to know,i know im getting forged pistons once i upgrade the turbo.
