Alot of turbo talk lately. Just curious, for those who have been there/done that, what turbo did you pick, why, and if your project is on the road, how do you like it?

If your going to autox, I'd say run a smaller turbo than you are thinking. You want the boost to be made fast. I saw an accura turbo with a Vtech engine autox regularly in SCCA. 3 grand... NOTHING, ba ba ba ba.. V tech kicks in... 140hp... gets louder. wait for it, wait for it.. boost starts, and it sounds like its pms'ing on steriods, seriously loud.. But for only like .5 rpms, then he either has to brake, or he shifts....

Sucks for daily driving too...
With 2 944 turbo's at home, The smaller turbo is much more comfortable with daily driving on and off the throttle than a big turbo lag with what feels like a 200 shot of nos....

I say TO3 with a smaller hot side of the turbo than norm...or something simular.... I cant give you any specs right now.. I just dont know.... lol

theres my ramble, Hope theres a sentence in there that helps!!
