Re: Which turbo would you guys prefer?
 

I would go with the SCM61. You would never have to upgrade again. If I were you, I would definately upgrade your downpipe to 3". Now I have a question for you, why are you running 3 fans?

Re: Which turbo would you guys prefer?
 

How many threads do you need to start to determine which turbo to get?

Re: Which turbo would you guys prefer?
 

You dont have to make a new thread every time you have a new question about a different turbo. Just FYI.

You need cams first. You won't get the full performance from the SCM61 without going to a sheetmetal intake and 3" downpipe also. And if you want the full performance of the 61mm compressor wheel in that turbo, then get a SC61 with a T3 exhaust housing, T3 exhaust manifold, an external wastegate, and a good O2 housing.

Re: Which turbo would you guys prefer?
 

Ecoli is right. Nobody said it was gunna be cheap. You cant just get a bigger turbo and expect it to get you into the 10s.

Re: Which turbo would you guys prefer?
 

ok cool thanks ecoli for the exhaust housing would .63 A/R better or .82 A/R be better? And for the compressor cover what is the difference from "E" and "S"

And your right M.98GSX nobody did say it was going to be cheap not even me?

Re: Which turbo would you guys prefer?
 

Why 3 fans?

Re: Which turbo would you guys prefer?
 

With the level of questions you're asking, you shouldn't be looking at anything larger then what you already have.

Re: Which turbo would you guys prefer?
 

Sorry, first posted fixed I have 2 fans.

Re: Which turbo would you guys prefer?
 

The S is a larger compressor cover, I have one on my SCM61, but it probably doesn't do much, the exhuast housing is the limiting factor. If you go with the SC61, then it would be more of a benefit. The .63 housing will be somewhat limiting, but the .82 housing will be laggier and flow better.

Re: Which turbo would you guys prefer?
 

OT but that car does have 3 fans; it's my old car & it had some overheating probs for a while & through the course of things it ended up w/ a double-pull 12" FAL and one 10" SPAL pusher. It will never overheat again now :D

Cams and a SMIM are going to be a must if you want to run low 11's. A gt35r or SC/SCM61 will be probably necessary to. If I still had that car it'd be getting all of the above, probably a bigger turbo tho.

ok thanks haha

Re: Which turbo would you guys prefer?
 

Is the SCM6125 a good street turbo? or would the 20g be better for more street driving and racing?

Re: Which turbo would you guys prefer?
 

:google: :search:

Re: Which turbo would you guys prefer?
 

I have the 20g td06 and love it.

Re: Which turbo would you guys prefer?
 

No that one smells like rotten apples.

But the SCM6152S is a great street dsm turbo w/lag. SC61 with a stage 5 wheel. Good for 400+hp on pump on a 2.0 with proper tuning.

Re: Which turbo would you guys prefer?
 

Have you done any research at all?

Re: Which turbo would you guys prefer?
 

I vote no. Google is your friend dude
