I used to say 400whp is good enough for me but then got 509whp, then thinking about 600whp. FI is like an addiction......more more more.

sorry man but i have already been down that road and all it does is end in dissapointment. I have owned a boosted car before. After going through that i have learned that more is not always better.

Do no get any turbo with a TO4E compressor housing!!!!!!!!!!! It is a little too large to fit without having to modify all sorts of stuff and creating a big pain in the *** for yourself. This is why Julian is going a different route. You need a turbo that comes in a TO4B comressor housing so most of the turbos suggested will not work!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we also put our turbos in a jig to weld on some aluminum elbows.They have to be positioned correctly to line up with the charge piping.If you want smaller turbos there is a variety of configurations that will work within a TO4B housing.Call us if you need help.

Well guys i decided to bite the bullet and get the 60-1 ball bearing turbo's. I guess it will feel good to have a extra 400whp at my disposal
BTW thanks to tim for putting up with all my calls

I have the 60-1 hifi in my SFR kit, had a 450 hp map at one time, it was smooth with hardly any lag time at all, power would come on like a train!
You would have room to grow in the future if need be! Good choice man!
