Default what turbo R you USING?????

It seems most turbo's i hear about are the t70 and gt42. I am just wondering what the differences are?? are they both ballbearing, oilcooled. water cooled?? I am looking for something with good spool time and something i wont have to worry about much (durability). Is there another combination out there that guys are runnning?? I am putting this on a stock engine so im only looking for bout 500 hp not much i know but im not looking at upgrading again when my forged bottom is built. im looking at something that will run the 8lbs now and will give me bout 12-14 lbs later but again i dont want to wait till 4000RPM for it to spool now casue if i can get it to spool quick now it will spoll quicker later or similar on the 6ltr forged motor.

you should be able to make that power very easily with a tiny turbo. a buddy of mine is using a pair of T60-1 HiFi's on his setup and each is rated somewhere around 600+ depending on the restriction of your motor.

GT42 comes in two trims....a 70mm inducer and a 74mm inducer. The GT series, correct me if I am wrong, is a D BB. Where's armagedon. He has a built 6L and you can hear that thing spool almost immediately If you go that route, I doubt you'll be waiting to 4k.
