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

Your right, that is the best for increasing turbo life. Jay, I think you missed Turbo and I's point- you WILL get power gains, they WILL feel great; there's no power reason to not take your CT26 up to 15 psi; you'll still get power out of it. But when you're BUYING a turbo for your 5sfe (2pointTWO l engine) the T3/t4 makes much more sense over 10 psi- after that you're putting the same wear and tear on your engine as the psi goes up- but you're getting much less out of it. A t3/t4 running at 15 psi and a CT26 running at 15 psi; the T3/t4 WILL have more horsies. Also, one more thing I forgot to mention is that if you're ever even contemplating a swap- even a year down the line or more; the CT26 is just a waste of money; while doing a T3/t4 setup now will allow you to move your entire upgraded turbo setup over to the 3sgte (with the exception of the piping into the throttle body) |
