Whats the smallest turbo you can run and make power? Whats the smallest turbo you can run and make power? I found a few that are tiny but was told that it wouldnt do any good in my car. I know I'll need a head change or re-work for a compression drop but the person who told me it wouldnt work didnt know I had raised compression.

I wouldn't go any smaller than a T61...Are you looking at the turbos on ebay?? If so I would not go that route...Get a good turbo man...You'll want something around a T67 or T76 because we're not pushing these with 4 cylinders...smaller the turbo means that you'll max out quicker...

You can go a lot bigger than a t61 sized turbo while retaining your AC. Do you plan on building a custom kit or odering a kit? There are already kits out there that keep the AC.

Check out GMR SPeed-----> single turbo kit. one of the lowest priced turbo kits on the market and comes with all stainless piping and FMIC. Keeps ac and all acc. Shoot for a 61 or better yet a 67mm turbo for your goals.

You could definitely make that power but I would go with a T76 because you're going to want to turn it up eventually...Well when Hi flo releases theirs you could look into that and GMR has a good kit too...PTS, TTI and some other ones have a kit to suit your needs...You may not be able to go to a T76 and retain AC on some of them...You just have to check them out and they'll usually tell you...

What about an STS kit? It works pretty well if you ask me. And it's capable of your power goals, and keeps all acc. also. I got mine from trtturbo, they were awesome.

On the STS kit a t-60 is standard and can be upgraded to a t-67.I would go 67 if you want 530 but if you want more in the future you will need to start upgrading.
