Default best 88mm for under $2k?
Whats the best 88mm turbo for under $2k? I need a quick spool. My motor is a 9.5:1 forged ls1. Looking at the turbonetics b.b. t88. Looking to make a little over 900hp with room to grow when i build an iron block motor.

Also what would the difference in spool time be going from a .96 to a 1.15 exhaust housing be?

my gt-88 from forced inductions worked very well if your doing a T6 kit. Made 1000hp about the same compression as you with ease

Pick up a Borg Warner turbo, either 87mm or 91mm, they are less than $1500 new, and if you pick the right one, you can get it for less than $1000 new.

That new Precision Billet wheel 88mm is a nice unit for the price, Especially for those with limited space. Just released this month(Nov 1st)

$1249 is right in the budget. What are the physical dimensions of the turbo itself. And what a/r is that exhaust housing?

Im running a th400 with a 3200 stall
