Which turbo has the most bang for the buck?

[juggernaut]

I am planning on rebuilding my 7MGTE this summer and going to upgrade my turbo as well . I dont really know my hp goals will be thus far.I guess it really depends on what I have to put into a new turbo. To be on the safe side I'm going to install forged pistons/conrods. I've been looking up info and reading various forums on numerous different turbos. But what i would like to know which mid-range turbo would give the most bang foe my buck.

Holset gives you that BANG FOR YOUR BUCK that you are looking for. You can get them for as cheap as $100 dollars. So with a forged block and instant power the HOLSET HY35 is more than capable of producing 450-500rwhp. Thats the turbo im gonna use for my build, im currently pulling the engine to send it to the shop. Whats your rwhp goal for daily and for track/racing?

I second the holset HY35!

Only problem with the holset for the best bang for buck is you need t4 mani, custom exhaust, custom ic, Fuel, tuning.

Adding all that up it gets expensive.

My vote would either be a 57trim ct or a bigger bolt on turbo that way you can maximize your hp without maxing out your wallet.

Please explain why you would need a custom intercooler. I too, am interested in this, and really interested in the holset route.

We talkin new or used? Either way a real masterpower t-70 is very hard to beat

Meant the piping, not the ic it self. But if your going for that kinda of power you will also need another ic as the stock one will be inefficient after upgrading past a ct.

But what i meant was best bang for the buck would be a bolt on turbo and not one that needs a t4 mani.

Power goals would help this thread very much too.

I dont really have a set hp goal and its going to be mainly for racing/track..

Ive looked for over an hour to find a HY35 turbo......I havent found one yet. Are they that hard to find?

 

[hvyman]

I would say just go with a fully built ct setup and go from there. If you build for 700hp with a upgraded ct you will be set for any track/xcross and spend less money since you have all the parts to do a mild ct setup.

 

[juggernaut]

What do you think about the T61 Turbocharger which is being sold on ebay it just bolts on?

 

[hvyman]

A couple of my friends have that turbo and they say its good but for me i wouldnt go that route. Id get something that of quality and has been proven for years.

I have a 57trim ct at 8psi and its great but i really would like more power but i dont have the mods/money to get more.

Holy crap, I wasn't aware anywhere near these numbers were possible with a CT upgrade, would this even be reliable though?

 

[hvyman]

A ct wont get much past 400hp. It s a very reliable turbo tho as i have 45k on mine with zero shaft play at stock boost levels tho.

You always want to build for more than you want for the safety/ piece of mind insurance.

 

[juggernaut]

where can I find a HOLSET HY35 ?

 

[hvyman]

Ebay all day for under 200$.

I often thought about getting a holset. They have a big turbine a/r's though. When would you begin to see boost?

 

[oldsking]

T4 turbo FTW! That's what I am running
