Re: Whats the best turbo to run?

depends on your other mods,i think a pte 52 is a good street turbo,can get into the 11s with just about stock stuff with a good tune

This question is along the lines of what part of the country/world is the best place to live.

It really all depends on your goals, mods, etc.

Low 11's I would like at a turbo around 60 series. Obviously a turbo alone won't do it though.

35r or a 67 gtq, with the supporting modifications, should get you in the mid-low 11s.

"supporting modifications" will include injectors, fuel pump, converter, getting it tuned, and quite probably a rebuilt trans.

I'd highly recommend getting it running well stock first, otherwise adding mods will be like throwing money into a campfire.

*EDIT* - and sticky drag radials, and probably a new front propshaft.

You probably want to read up on Tooky's build as well. I would use a little bit bigger turbo though.

been thinking of upgrading to a new turbo and not sure where to start any advice would help a lot thanks.
I wrote several guides for people in your situation, with a lot more information on parts selection than I have room to type in this forum post:

Syclone Modification Stages 1, 2, 3, 4 - Learn which modifications work together for the best combinations, including estimated quarter mile performance for each stage at both pump gas and high boost levels..

Key Ingredients to a Fast Truck - Five things that make up the foundation of any fast truck! Also, a list of parts that must match to go fast, and ideas for planning the scope of your next build. - Be sure to check out "#5. Realistic Goals!" on the bottom of this page... :tup:


Finally, you might find this "Performance Roadmap" useful:
