ctsv 1 turbo advise
ctsv 1 turbo advise Hey guys im trying to figure out what to build for my 06 ctsv.
Looking at two set ups. Space is the biggest concern. Was thinking about a forged 365 or 403. Camshaft will be a livernois stage 2 c high lift. 224 236 .646 .646 117lsa. I am wanting to make 800 to 900 rwhp as my driveline is rated from DSD at 1000hp. I was thinking 365 tc7875 would be the easiest due to lack of space. The other would be 403 with a pte t4 88mm turbo. How would spool be on a 403 88 set up? Tire size is limited to my nt05Rs.285 40 18s.

If space is a concern I would look into twins. In most cases its much easier to package. Smaller turbo's and piping.
IMO from all the horror stories I hear of PT88's I would stay away. Seems like every week I read a story about a fresh PT88 taking a dump and having to pay $500 for a rebuild.
If you want a single and space is limited I would look at minimum a 75mm turbine and at that its gonna be a restriction on a 365+ even with some of the massive turbine housing they offer. I would look into the Borg S400 series T4's They are a bit on the bigger end of a T4 based turbo though.
