Default Best turbo for daily driver

Which turbo is good for a daily driven s2k. Looking for about 350 whp. I know this has been asked a couple of times but there always newer options. I have a primary car but when I drive the s2k to work I'll be driving 120+ miles and I'd like something that's reliable but nothing I have to worry about breaking things when I boost. Don't want sc as I've had one already. Thanks in advance

whenever you boost your car you are making it unreliable. Expect things to break. A better question would be how much work is it to maintain a turbocharged s. Pay to play.

Listen to Spectacle or either supercharge it. Unless you know how to wrench on your on car and/or have the funds to care for the setup, turbocharging can become very expensive.

if you like to work on your car and care about it, then I don't think its a lot of work. Constantly under the hood checking the oil level, leaks, loose broken connections and under the car. For the first couple of months or so you are really going to have to be looking at everything to catch problems before they turn into something worst. You can have a shop do all the work but you are going to have to eventually become a mechanic of some sort throughout the process.

Also the harder you drive it the more you need to keep tabs on it. Keep in mind cars from the factory undergo tons of testing so you can be a little more careless with them. Just my two cents

Garrett GT6041. It will never build boost and keep your car reliable and still have a turbo.

I'm in the process of installing my turbo on my daily s2k and I'm already becoming more familiar with the car under the hood ( becoming a mechanic ) I'm up for the task of going under the hood and fixing her up. I'm getting tuned at T1 and have heard that the tune is really important with reliability.

I say this as direct as possible - if your S2000 is your only car that you depend for getting to and from work, do not turbocharge it
