Hey FI guys, hope everyone's doing well! It's a long ways off, but I'm compiling a list of parts for a custom turbo kit that I'll hopefully commit to buying this Winter, should my savings account allow for it lol...

I'm looking to make 400+WHP on a stock engine, trans, and diff. Here is a list of all the parts I have selected so far for the turbo system (minus supporting mods):

Treadstone Intercooler Piping Kit (Part #APKS)
Race Part Solutions Intercooler (24x12x3)
PFAB Log Manifold
HKS SSQV4 Blow Off Valve (Part #71008-AK001)
Tial MV-S Wastegate

Since cash is of the issue, I'm currently limited to only journal bearing turbos. I was looking at the Precision 5454E, but I wanted to know if anyone else had input on different brands/models (IE, Turbonetics T-GA 5454).

Any help or pointers is definitely appreciated!

 

I would look elsewhere instead of that journal bearing Precision 5454. Since cash is low, try looking into Borg Warner S200 series turbos. They're fairly cheap, makes good power, reliable and we all kno/experienced far too many troubles with those jb Precisions.

 

I may be selling my Borg s256 since I changed my mind on my power goal so I need to buy a bigger Turbo. Shoot me a pm if interested as it will be in the forsale section soon.

 

s256 fmw

 

Borg s256 or precision 5858

 

Sounds like the Borg S256 would be the way to go Thanks guys!

Now maybe by this time next year I'll actually have it installed lol..

 

def look into the fmw version

 

The s200sx FMW is actually pretty expensive and is almost EFR money. For the OP's power goals the s256 will be more than sufficient.

 

If you want 400whp buy the S256 from lude92_si. If you want 500whp you will need something bigger like the S259 or S360.

 

yea but what about baller status
