why not go with a larger turbo if your going to build it and boost the hell out of it? if i was going to run highboost, i think id rather have an 88 or atleast a 60

why would u need to go bigger than a gt40? they're rated for like 500hp, which i doubt a built f23 will make anyway. Remember that the larger the turbo you have, the more work it will take to spool the damn thing. Get a gt60 and your car will NEVER spool it and you WONT make any power. I think a gt30r would be plenty for a turbo F.

Ok, but what if you dont want to go up to 500 hp. Why not getting something like a GT22 that goes up to 280. I mean, if your going to boost it on stock internals not going past 7-8 psi, your never gunna make 500 hp. The G22 is rated from 170-280hp and is for engines from 1.7 to 2.5L. Its Small, easier to spool and would be perfect for a dd, no?

gt 22 is a little small, and might strain to make power all the way to redline. a 28r or 30r would be perfect being that it would spool around 3k and pull all the way to redline.

yes i do, and the 88/60 is a MM reference..
thats true, i had a brainfart and forgot about the amount of exhaust it would need. i figured an LPT system would be better run with a larger turbo, at a smaller psi. the same amount of airflow, but less strain on the turbo.
now heres a good question.. internally or externally wastegated? theres no way to control an internal wastegate is there?
alright so anywhere from 28-35. check.

One custom CL
Guys. No matter what turbo you get the a/r housing is what makes all the difference. If your a/r is too small your turbo will run flat by the time you redline. If its too big you will never spool. Id say for a sohc F series .50 - .60 a/r housing sound about right.

Internet is internet You find different people with different personalities. You can ask any of the So.Cal members and im the same way with them. But we are all cool people in the long run. I think you are taking it too seriously.
