I am wanting a turbo that would be the best for street racing and still have room for mods.
What are you using to controll those injectors?

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.

Build on hold until I get a good paying job, either in school or once I get out. At that time a full tear down and complete rebuild should be in order.

Excuse me, I stand corrected...

I hang around all the Honda boys and all they talk a/b is T3... it's drilled into my brain that the DSM flange/turbos are inferior...

I didn't really have any backup to that statement, I was just going on heresay... I apologize... looks like I have some reading to do...

Re: What turbo is better?
Gotta member, I'm fairly new to the DSM section... I came from the 3S platform earlier this year... I've only been here since a/b June (less you count me being here in March with the '97 RS)

So I'm learning... haven't had much time/money to do shit to my Talon yet... aside from getting it straight enough to drive
