Wat turbo set up are people running these days on there is3? Thinking about turboing mine need some ideas wat people are running! Thanks

 

I'm running a GT4088R .... I like it, but depending on how much power you are looking for it may be too big. It really depends on what your power goals are... I started out with a T04B and maxed it out at 404whp. Whatever way you go, I'd definitely recommend something ballbearing.

 

Ok I'm looking for about 450-500hp. Il be happy with somewhere between there. I know there are things u got to do to the car befor u turbo it just trykng to find a price range and see wat is out there.

 

To do it right, expect to spend 5-7k... By the time its all said and done and done reliably and right, this is what you will spend...

Pte 6266, perfect option, great spool, and the gen2 that was just released is good for over 800 HP should your heart so desire...

Ball bearing isn't as important as some think. I have a huge turbo, journal bearing, and still have good spool, minimal lag, etc...

 

I just bought a comp ct4 6265. Way too big for my HP goal of 300 - 350rwhp. A 5858 to a 6062 would have been perfectly fine for my goal... But it is the the cheapest I can find used so far..........Would have bought a holset but not too many 2jzge runs them..

 

Yeah I wish I went with a smaller turbo cause what I'm running now is just a bit big for my goals so I'm in the process of switching turbo's currently.Expect to hit the 5k mark like previously said if you do it right,unless you do your own work.Depending on your goals it always a safe bet to plan on headgasket and head studs

 

sekone what was your power goal and what turbo did you have?

 

My power goals were just close to 400HP which I've got but unfortunately I went with a 70mm which is better suited for 600-700 HP so the my power band isn't as useful as it could be.When the car builds full boost I'm upwards in my rpm range.Live and learn,I had a 6062 which would have been fine for my goals but I was afraid of it being to small so I had sold it like a dummy
