Right I know this has been covered plenty of times but Im still unsure of what's what.
I'm currently halfway through doing a forged engine build, only a 2.0l scdb from a v7 jdm sti. I'm currently shopping for a turbo but don't know what to go for. A few people have told me that my best option would be a lateral performance md321 series turbo which are rated between 400-500 depending which model, trouble is im only looking for secound hand at the moment due to budget. I've seen a couple of gt30 standard location turbos in the for sale section but some people say that's a bit overkill for my engine as I'm only looking at achieving around 420-450 bhp. I've also been reading about the t3 turbos and the sc40 but again these don't come up very often aswell. So I suppose my question is is the Garrett gt30 a good choice to go for as I can't find a used md321 anywhere or shall I just hold out for a md or sc40?
Any help or input would be greatly appriciated.

sc42+ job done

 

Turbo Technics T36 ticks all the boxes, makes 400-450bhp, is a direct fit bolt on turbo, is manufactured in the UK so no waiting for stock to come from America, is cheap enough at just £900+ vat inc the fitting kit.

It's only available through us so feel free to call us on 01752 345880.

 

out of interest any back to back graphs of the two yet Martyn?

 

Sounds like a good price for a 400 - 450bhp turbo, would this spool better than my AFP TD05 20g?
