Re: What turbo is better?

Bolt-on a T3/T4 manifold, that'll leave you more options when you upgrade/swap turbos. I just think that's the better route.


I'll be honest, I was originally looking at the PTE(50), but I decided to not go that route, for aforementioned reason. I've heard decent things a/b their construction and reliability... as far as performance, I've never been close enough to one to see any hard data...
Actually, thats not right. There is a wide range of higher HP turbos for the mitsu flange. PTE makes bolt on turbos from 450 hp (50 trim) all the way to 630 hp PTE61. Beyond that, FP makes quite a bit of bolt on turbos too, from the 500 hp green (50 trim) to the 600+ red (60-1) and I think the higher hp FP3065 and FP3575 are also bolt ons.
