Which turbo would you guys prefer?

[Shane@DBPerformance]

A 61 is going to be a fair amount laggier than a 20G.

People have run 11s, even 10s with a 20g or smaller with other help. I think a 20g/50trim would be the turbo for him.

Pirate turbo FTW!!!!
GT35R was last year, this year is GT42R.
If your gonna be cool, then do it to it.

Just because 3 guys down in Winona are running them, doesn't make it the choice of turbo for the season. Besides, I wouldn't say they're "cool." Lol. JK. Jake is a good guy.

I actually wasn't referring to them, but at least we know who you are thinking about concerning cars.

It's quite obvious everyone on this site is following their threads. I don't see anyone else thinking about running a GT-42R. Unless Swanny is. So I guess that justifies my statement. And yes, Jake has helped me when "concerning my car." More than everyone else on this site put together. And I know LSE has helped you with yours.

If he can drive, just use a 14B.

The gt42 has always been a popular turbo. We do have 2 cars currently with GT42's on them (or on order) that are near finish.

As well as 2 cars with slightly smaller singles (being worked on), 1 car that will have larger than a gt42 (long term project) and 2 cars with massive twins planned.

Yo! This is a tech thread, not a pissing match!

gsxer, get yourself a 20G and see what it will do. If you can't pull 11's out of it then get something bigger and sell the 20G. It takes all of an hour or two to swap out a turbo, not that big of a deal to go bigger if you need to!

Roll a pair of dice until you get 2 numbers which are available in a trim (ie- 50, 57, 60, etc.).

Must be some funky dice down in Iowa! We don't have 7's or 0's on the ones in Minnesota

Well shit, I guess we're just unique.

[turbotalon1g]

Sorry, i was interrupted.
I say get something in a GT30 comp wheel and then its up to you on the other side.
SC 61, 3052, 3065. or equivalents for those turbo.
RST don't comment or make public judgements on what i say it just wastes space, plus no-one really gives a toss about it.
I have dealt with Jake also and he is a cool guy.
GSxer good luck, but plenty of research and late night will net you your answer.
I usually go with threads that have results and logs, not just estimates.
Also talking to guys like know, like the old guys here and shop owners.
Not people with just a stack of badass parts waiting to be fast.

Although this tends to be the DSMer mentality, it probably isnt the way to go. If you cant run 11's with a 20G, the last thing you should be doing is going bigger.

You are right, but I just don't see why you wouldn't want to just buy something that will get the car (eventually) to his target power goal. It looks as if he basically has what he needs to get there - I could be missing something as it's late. But again, what your statement is alluding to I agree with - if the car is capable for an 11 second pass, it's not the car, it's the person driving it.

Consider this space wasted. I don't see why you'd "waste space" talking about a turbo above and beyond (and the some) of his goal. But hey, you're a gopher at a local shop, your opinion must be valued. Your original post was useless. Just don't do it again. I hate stupidity, especially in the tech section. I will make public judgements/comments when there is truth behind it. It's obvious which side of the fence I'm on when push comes to shove - I'll just put that out there so you don't have to question it ever again.

Seriously, is it just fucking impossible to not go into personal attacks in tech threads? I don't care who does it anymore, I'm going to start banning people for a day here and there if they can't keep useless shit out of the tech areas.

A good point was also made, if the same thread is made 80 trillion times I'll ban that person for a day as well.

[A//// Guy]

I vote 20G. Loved mine.

[b00stcreep21]

Not gonna lie, when noobish questions like this come up that are easily searchable and has been gone over many times before, and makes more than one thread w/ the same question, there's bound to be some banter and bashing. It doesn't help when latley it seems like everyone is bleeding out of their vag's. Just my thoughts though, don't ban me

On to something on topic...... For the amount of information you seem to have on turbos, and even your car in general, I think you need to do some more research on your own first before you size a turbo for your car (or ask everyone else to do it for you). Look at other people's set ups, check out tuning software, see what a new turbo actually takes to be ran correctly without toasting your engine, and for god's sake, use the search function and google. There's no need to re-invent the wheel here. If it's a DSM, it's been done, so I'd suggest checking out setups of other guys that are running the times you are looking for
