Does anyone know what road racers use for turbos? I know everyone who's all about the 1/4 mile wants the biggest thing alive, but there has to be a medium out there for someone who likes to turn the wheel.
It depends on the course. If your doing auto-x/solo2 stuff then you want something small like a 14B or FP T28. For larger road courses your probably looking at a 16G varient, TD05H based 20G, or one of the newer smaller frame dual ball-bearing turbos like the FP 2544, AGP SS44, etc. You can get away with a somewhat big sized turbo if your running real road courses. Scot Gray runs an FP Green on his car. The funny thing is that the road course portion of the 2003 SCC Ultimate Sport Car Challenge was won by a 670awhp drag Eclipse.
