Also just gonna let you on a little secret dude, Holset + 2.5K rpm spooled is called fantasy land.


How are you going to tune it
what injectors do you plan to run?
wastegate and boost psi?
Intercooler with bpv?
oil lines to the turbo, tapping the oil pan / block?

If you plan on just "maxing" the stock injectors, just stop yourself right now and quit.

if you don't know how you are going to tune it ( which i really don't think you know since you didn't know what a wastegate is / does ) just stop yourself right now.


Here is what you need to do dude. Quit looking at cool pics of turbo's on the internet.
Take some time and RESEARCH, and LEARN everything you can about KA-T setups, NA to boost setups, AFR's in boost, TIMING, KNOCK, ETC...
because guess what, if you think you need a holset for 250whp "with room to grow" you have already failed. there are better turbos, that have better flow rates, better compressor maps, Quicker spooling Hotsides, the list just goes on.
And if you only care about spool time, Why don't you research what the hell causes quick spool or slower spools.. Or how hotsides affect Top HP? or anything for that matter.

You could have a HX35 that spools 6000RPM, or one that spools at like 3500 RPM. Go research and find out why.

If you want a holset cuz it's a big turbo and looks like you gots madzzz hp, Don't be surprised when you add a few holes in your block. Start investing in bus passes.



If you buy a turbo before you know what AFR means or what good AFR's are in boost, you have successfully became retarded.
