Marvin, I'll say it again, that is one of the CLEANEST blocks I've ever seen... This is going to be a great build...

Thats a little too big Thats a good turbo for my other project Supra ill have but not for this one, Thanks though. I want something that will push around 350 - 400 HP around 10 - 12 lbs of boost that won't cost hopefully no more than $700 because this will be my daily driver. Any other suggestions and price range?

Marvin, you'll need a pretty large turbo to get that much hp from that low of boost... Even with my turbo, gt4067r, having a 67mm wheel I will be suprised if I make 400hp @12psi... I just dont think the efficiency is there on a small turbo and our motors... If you went with an upgraded CT, like a 57 or 60-1, you could hand out 400hp easily, but it would be up in the 16-20psi range... With my Tnetics 60-1, I made 475rwhp@21psi... But it was on a T4 mani and externally gated... Stock manifold though... I had an adapter with a w/g flange... But even that turbo, if turned down to 10psi, might have made aroudn 350... Just consider that you may have to push a little more boost to get there, but 400 is not a hard number to reach... You can do it...

Upgraded CT will get you that power and that price, but not at that boost :(. The BOSS series probably would though. You've gotta pay high dollar pricing for lower boosting power ;).

Thanks for da info Jake, I was thinking of getting Jonathan's, A.K.A. GotTurbos?, Custom Precision 71mm bolt on turbo that he has for sale but still need to save up more money, that head and block put a real dent in my wallet :( Let me know what yall think about this turbo... Any other turbos that are direct bolt on and price range?

About the PTE 550's you plan to use......................Check out this thread from start to finish. There's a very valuable link in there. You need to have them flow tested before use. The link is to a site that will do that for $25.

Well I hope mine are here soon, so I can send them off and post results. Hopefully I won't be just spending good money on research of a bad product. Until proven wrong, I think I'm getting some good injectors. There have been plenty of people here run those injectors with good results. You should subscribe to the thread, if you didn't already. I will be making updates to it as soon as I get them, and right after having them flowed.
