Which turbo has the most bang for the buck?

[MDCmotorsports]

This is the mother of all opened ended questions for the week.

Bang for the buck? 57 trim bold on ct26. Either rebuilt ct26 or a JT56 which is built off a t4 platform. Personally Id go for the JT56 as the t4 bearing housing has a much better oiling system.

If you had more money (manifold or adapter, wastegate, down pipe, intake pipe, power steering relocation kit, oil lines etc), then yes - a Holset hx35 or 40 or a hy35 or HE351CW.

Interesting, JT56 you say.Well it does make 401whp @ 15psi on mustang dyno.Never thought of it as a "most bang for the buck" turbo, but i can certainly see how that conclusion can be made.

CT26 with a drjonez manual boost controller set to about 13 psi.

If you going with forged internals why would you skimp on the turbo. I would just go T70 masterpower from modular turbo here and just get the rest of the t4 parts needed. Price for what you get is really unbeatable. I personally went with the t78 turbonetics. Just don't limit yourself on power because you cheaped out on the turbo setup.

Exactly what I was thinking lol, Go subject matter experts haha

Holset hy35 or he351cw FTW! but the jt62 bolt on turbo that Jeff sells (notrice.com) is a great street turbo for your power needs!

Garrett don't stand behind their products...FYI....Even when purchased new from them. Oh ya they have a warrenty, as long as you consider paying $50 less then a new one to replace ANY type of wheel damage on a BB turbo reasonable.

Great Turbo's though, shitty company and customer support.

$600 for a T70 masterpower is hard to beat man! Even the $800 driftmotion turbos. I have a driftmotion 60-1 and I cant wait to turn the boost up because its fast now. My butt dyno says 15psi feels like I am in the 400rwhp range with my a/f ratio being in the 10's. My car feels faster at 15psi than my older stage 5 boss bolt on ,which was also a 60-1. Maybe its the fact that I have been with though boost for a while makes it seem faster I dunno, but I am really happy with it so far. My setup will have accumist meth kit and 22-24psi ...... I m hoping to break 500rwhp but If I cant then I will be rocking a Master Power T70 next. I dont think there is a better deal on the market for the quality and service.
