Default What turbos to use

I've been out of the turbo game for several years now. I'm starting a twin turbo build soon but not sure what turbos to use. My last setup was an Incon kit if that tells you how long ago. I believe they were around a gt35.

Anyway I'm looking for around 750 hp with a forged 370, th400 and a 12 bolt. I'd also like a little room to grow in case 750 isn't enough. Any suggestions?

pretty much any mid sized precision billet turbo will be killer **** but cost a ton of money.

like 5857 to 60ish mm would be killer twins

depends on your budget, how fast you want them to spool, is it front or rear mount kit etc

It's definitely front mount and I'd like spool up pretty quick.

Too small for an auto car. I'd do twin Precision 6266s with .81 AR exhaust housings. They are slightly biggger than a GT35. If you price around, you can get these for $800 each shipped. You will easilly make 750whp, and have some room to grow into them.
