ok, i think you guys know what im about to ask.... what turbo would be good for my setup? I looking to make at least [email protected] I already have a FMIC,SAFC2,Spec stg 2 clutch and top mount Rev Hard Mani. Im going to be getting 370's and a walbro pretty soon so that shouldn't be a problem. I also have a t3 60/63 for sale but i her the top end on those suck http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=80585. So my question for you you experts out there is this...What turbo will pull all the way to redline with out falling off on the top end and still make at least [email protected]?

that turbo should be good but if thats all you want I've seen the small t3 make those power... its all about tuning also...

yeah i would think that t3 would be ok if you only want 200hp.... u might need to run a little more than 7psi though...

if you jump up to a smaller .48/.60 AR t3/t04e you will be good for about 300-400hp, which sounds like way more than you are after.. i would find a nice t3, like what you have now...

i know the t3's are good for about 300+hp, but i hear the top end on those suck. The reason im going ka-t is b/c my top end on my NA sucks!!! If i lean it out on the top end it will pull right? What do you guys think about a 50trim t3/t4? or a T04b? According to alot of my friends, these 2 turbos pull like hell all the way to redline.

KA's and top end don't mix very well, you have to do more than just a big turbo to get it to perform good at high rpms.
BTW why do you want a peaky engine anyways. if you're only shooting for 200 whp, just get a t25 or similar and enjoy the near instant boost response.
If you're definately set on KA-T, and top end, then at least get some cams, that should help.

i have a t3 on my ka @ 14psi, and its cool cause its making 286 and prob get it to about 315-20ish @18psi but its instant spoil and i always been fan of all motor.but i have a 93 ka block and the top end is fine hauls ass. def feels alot better then my roomates sr20 setup thats almost the same. but im def buying a t3/4 cause im shooting to make 360+ hp for not reason at all just to do it
