Default turbo size ?

what size turbo would i need to make 500rwhp but still be able to support 600rwhp when im ready to make that move and not have to buy a new turbo?

this is gonna go on a 00 TA that will see alot of street use but not be a DD. what size injectors would i need and could i get away with a cr of 10.1 if i was using meth injection alone or would i also need a intercooler as well?

T-76
Intercooler should be used
meth is only a band aid
60 lb motrons buy for later
10:1 can be run you will get more power from low compression more psi
6.0L truck heads will drop into the 9.5:1 range

That about sums it up...but a T-76 in either a GTQ or GTS trim is WAY above 600rwhp. A T-67 or 70 will get you to that goal more respectively and save you about $400.

Go with a TC series unit and you can get a 76 for around the same cost as the smaller units and leave some room for growth.

Also don't forget PTK makes a kit as well.
