okay so im not to familiar with big turbos i recently had a s15 bb turbo sold it cause i want more power @ the moment .. im currently building the head and need to buy a turbo so yeah ..... any help/suggestions would be great!

im looking @ a t3/t4 60 trim and i did some research and looks like yeah the turbo is big but spols to late and a bb turbo would be better ... and its good for hmmm 450whp aroun there?


k these are the turbos that got my attention

3071r it looks great and all price is around what 1,300 around there? and it can handle like hmmmm... 400whp maybe a lil more right? how many psi's can it max out at? ... and will it bolt on to a stock manifold?

3076r ... lmk what u guys think about this one .. i think well looks a lil better than tha 71r but lmk what u guys think and also can i bolt it on to stock mani....


the only reasone i want to bolt on to a stock mani for now is because iv spent all my money on head work/labor/Ems/injectors(740cc)/ and so on so im trying to get something bigger than 2871r but that can bolt on to the stock mani if possible...

o yeah my goals for the car is for now haha .. 370 - 450 whp... a lil of both drag racing and drifting ... maybe just maybe a lil more drag than drifting ... so yeah ... as stated any help would be great guys thanx!

Actually, they do make a t2 flange 3071r.. but its internally gated. And AFAIK, they dont make a t2 t3/t4, hence the name (in reference to the flange). Your best option if you want to stay bottom mount is probably a 2871r and with your power goals, the 86ar. You probably wont see 400hp easily, but if you want to stay bottom mount, its your easiest option. Some people have welded a t3 flange on the stock mani, but you have to change the location of it because the bigger turbos will hit the side of the block. Hope this helped.

Save your money and buy a better manifold. No point in buying a turbo that you mite change later once you upgrade your mani. Just my two cents!
