Thanks for the responses guys. I think my mind is made up in favor of the turbo. Since this is my dd, my goal will be either 500hp, or the limit of the stock fuel pump. Which ever one comes first. At roughly 20 hp per lb of boost, i think that should only take ~10 lbs to accomplish.
TRICK PERFORMANCE:
Knowing that my goal is either 500hp or maxing out the stock pump, do I really need a 76mm? I plan to go with a ball bearing turbo for quick spooling either way, but will a 70mm get the job done on a reasonable amount of boost? Would I be in a more optimal part of the compressor map with the 70mm? I dont wan't to run meth, I want to hit my hp goals, and I also want quick spooling. Basically I want my cake and eat it too. Lol... Which do you recommend?
