Ok, the ct-26 is cheap and decent. It's worthless after 8psi tho. The T3 is hear works well. But if you use that, you use lower boost levels righT? And T3/t4 would be overkill cuz u could probably get a t3 cheaper, right? Someone clue me in on what u think the ideal turby for 5s is and why.
With a T-series, would u need a new manifold or just flange? -------------------- NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife

I think this is somewhat misleading. Although you probably didn't intend it, your post implies that the gains between 10psi and 13psi on a ct-26 are somehow not worth it because of turbo efficiency issues. I can attest to the fact that this is definitely not true. The differences in "power feel" between 10psi and 13psi on a ct-26 (albeit in a 3s rather than 5sfte) are dramatic.
