Which Turbo? Poll!

Which water cooled ball bearing turbo would you go with?

For now I am going with a 5 BAR, but I would like room for a 700HP kit later with injectors and a pump...

I'm assuming the tradeoff is spool vs. lag balanced by instant throttle response vs. big end power.

1. GT2860
2. GT3076

We're not in K"24"ansas anymore!

I went with the EPL /Tial 3071s and couldn't be happier.

I'm running just a 5bar at the moment but will be installing injectors/pump in the next week or two.

Even with just the 5bar I've been VERY impressed with how quickly these spool and how responsive they are overall.

I am surprised that you have 3 votes for the GT3072 since to my knowledge there is no such turbo.

3076. Although the new GT2876R looks real tempting . It has a 76MM wheel in a small frame turbo. I am sure it will choke up top, but looks like it will be substantially better than the old GT28s .....http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbob...ison_sheet.htm

Looks like 3071 is the best compromise? You get the GT30 housing and with the 71 wheel for quick spool...

Thanks for that chart KPG

Unfortunatley I don't know how to modify the poll
