Best Boost for the buck
I am looking into getting a "reliable" put together turbo kit for my car. Now saying reliable and turbo in the same sentance is quite funny to some. I am wondering what size turbo would be the best for running a nice solid 280hp to the wheels with stock internals and just a piggy back.

Not many people here have a system that was pieced together. The ones that do, did it for big hp numbers. If you only want 280, just buy a kit. It will save you some time and hassle.

If you are only looking for a safe 280 - 300 whp, wait for the Elda.

What boost are you looking on running?
Because comparing it with many turbo compressor maps not that many are effecient at 5-7 psi and if they do get into the highest effeciency of the turbo it is there not very long.
You can counter that buy running higher boost while lower compression, headgasket is all the rage.
