Default What turbo?

Just after some opinions, in the new year I'm going to start my next round of mods and I'm trying to decide what turbo to buy? I have it narrowed down to 3 and I'm looking for some help, the three I have narrowed it down to is the:-SC46, T36 or MDX555 so suggestion which one or if there are any others people can suggest I would be grateful.

imho...like the threads about `best engine builder` your only going to get people voting for the one they've got.. its just far to expensive and time consuming to chop and change turbos..

ive just had a T36 fitted..making 448bhp and around 455 torque..more than enough.. well at the moment anyways

I wouldn't opt for the 46 personally on yours dude (2.0 sti) as it may have a bit too much lag for what you want, I'd go for the 42 by there.

The new t36 are getting some good reviews and are well priced.

Mdx555 is a decent blower although someone like laterals MDX321t may be better suited to you on a 2ltr. One of the guys runs the 555 on his 2.5 which makes for a nice car, again it may have a bit more lag on a 2.0 which is where laterals turbo would probably benefit you.

Taking it up a few ponies are you
