Re: Which turbo woud you pick?

If your trying to avoid lag then get the smaller+ball bearing turbo. The first two options in a ball bearing version are probably the best since they will spool quicker and can both make the power you are looking for, its cool if you get journal bearing though it should still be okay.

Re: Which turbo woud you pick?

i think ima go with the 50 trim (1st on the list)
do you think i can make more than 470 horses out of the f23a1?
where can i get the ball bearing version?

personally, i'm a garrett fan. i would go with the gt30r. good top end power, good size for our motors and spools fast

Re: Which turbo woud you pick?

I honestly haven't seen one with 470+ but in my opinion i know that the f23 has the potential to reach it, buttttt there aren't enough upgrades available for it to get there easily.

I do know that bisi has 400+ on his NA f22 though.

Re: Which turbo woud you pick?

ive heard many good things about ball bearing turbos but havent heard specifics about it
is the ball beaing part just going to make your turbo last longer or does it make it spool faster what are some of the advantages of going ball bearing?
gt30r ima look into that/ i really like turbonetics just cause its largely engraved on the side of the turbo lol

Re: Which turbo woud you pick?

Ball bearing turbos will last longer AND spool quicker haha

Re: Which turbo woud you pick?

^ yeah thats what i thought/ just wasnt sure
what are u running erik
but like a brand new turbo how long do u think it will last me(without ball bearings)

personally, i'm a garrett fan. i would go with the gt30r. good top end power, good size for our motors and spools fast

and the gt30r is freakin huge/ 80trim/ are you sure it spools fast

Re: Which turbo woud you pick?

the gt30r is big but it's ball bearing which makes up for its size and i've heard from many people that honda's seem to love them, and the turbo should last you a while if you take care of it, like doing oil changes and putting a filter on it and stuff..

Re: Which turbo woud you pick?

ima call this company if they make the turbo i want with ball bearings
if they do should i go with the 50 trim which i know is going to spool super quick or 57 trim which will ultimately not crap out on me(i dont really think those hp rated # are correct)
