For all you turbo runners out there...

Whats the "most reliable" turbo engine you've run or have heard about?
I'm lookin into getting a turbo after i get my N/A junk stuffs through Luke (i know.... )

blah blah.

I'm an engine Newbie, ...

Are you referring to turbo & engine combinations or are you talking about turbo manufacturers?

Hmm good question.

I was thinking of getting maybe.. a new engine? Or something..
After looking in awe at Geo's DET, ... i was thinking of putting maybe a DET in there. Or ... what kinds of Turbo systems can regular DE's handle well? I'm shooting for 250hp or so (to the wheel) :)

The Hotshot turbo kit should do the trick. A DET will come just a little short. Without changing out a bunch of things ($$$$), you'll max out at about 250 crank hp.

Hotshot should be able to use 80% of the DET installation kit with their turbo kit. The only thing they'd have to fab is the compressor discharge to FMIC pipe.
