Turbo psi/hp ratio, 5sfte questions Options

[urbandork]

i think a t3 might be best?

[presure2]

i DEFINTLY wouldnt go with the T3...its gonna be working REAL hard @ 8-12lbs ...your gonna choke it on the top end, and to get power outta it, your gonna have to run higher boost. higher boost on the 3s is ok...on the 5s its BAD
with the smaller your turbo,intake charge is gonna be a good deal hotter also.
if you ask me, a really good choice for the 5s would be a T3/To4E 46trim...
the plot on that map starts off decent at 7psi and just gets better and better as you up the boost, all the way up to and past 15psi
IMO you want somthing thats gonna give you decent spool and still allow you to meet your power goals at the LOWEST boost level possible.

^ second that notion; this is what I've been planning to run

T3/To4E 46trim (thats the same as a t3 t4 evolution right? searching now) I recall this being able to bolt up to a t3 manifold right?

Ive been reading and looking around and i know that the ct26 doesnt have good numbers past 8 psi or so, but what caught my eye was this

I mean isnt that jsut sexy and wouldnt that add mad style points. lol

Looks beside Ive been reading and a lot of ppl say the ct26 is sucky and others say its good. The highest ill be boosting is 10 psi.

i saw that a few days ago i would jump on the 200 one it comes with a DP also good deal while it lasts

what else would have to be "made bigger" for the t3/to4E turbo?

[urbandork]

i was thinking for cost reasons i think im guna run that ebay manifold and down pipe with a ct26 twin entry ceramic trubo and run it at 8 psi.

Just a question. I wouldnt mind having something that spools up quicly over something that doesnt. How would a ct26 spool be compared to the t3t40 set up.

[Doge]

That manifold and downpipe is complete overkill for what you're trying to do. The stock 3s manifold creates no restrictions untill you get well over the power capabilities of the 5s. Also... the ct26 is still very efficient up until around 14psi... which is around around the 5s threshhold. I wouldnt spend any more money than you have to... whats the point in having all that power potential that your motor cant utilize without more money dumped into it? On the other hand that manifold is SUUUPER sexy!

[urbandork]

I c your point. But if i can pick it up for under 300 i might just do that. Like you said supppper sexy lol. but if its any higher the 300 ill just find a stock exhaust manifold.

btw at this point can i call it a header still?
