Default rcm450 or rcm500

Hi,

I want to upgrade my td04, and i want to use one of these turbos.

My engine is stock for now but i'll rebuild with forged parts, cams etc.Probably displacement will be same(2lt)

I've seen rcm500 dyno charts, but i didn't see rcm450, has anyone experienced this turbocharger ?

regards,

rcm450,md321t single scroll it's the same turbo,mdx555 to, even lm450 twin entry behave similar to single scroll versions.
why not precision 5530 gen 2?
Think weak point it could be Your gearbox,than on 2.0 all of them will be laggy, better if You forge an engine to go 2.1l for extra torque.

Thanks for reply, i have 2002 6 speed jdm type ra drivetrain(diff axles brembos etc.) My engine will be forged, i'm not afraid because of drivetrain, i like long rod setups but you're right about 2.1
