Default Need Help Selecting A Turbo

I'm looking for a turbo for my rear-mount setup and I'm just not sure what to go with.

I want the car in the 475-500RWHP range and I will never want more power than that. I want the emphasis on low-end and midrange power not top-end and because of that I want something that's going to spool as quickly as possible. In fact spooling time is probably the most important factor in my decision.

I'm expecting the turbo's going to be in the 60mm range and it's definitely going to be ball-bearing.

Price is not an issue.

BTW, it's going on an otherwise stock LS1.

TIA

A T67 will get you there just fine but I hope you plan on having the supporting mods in order to make that amount of power reliably...

I already have a T67, it takes too long to spool.

it is not the turbo that is the problem. make sure there are no exhaust leaks, wrap your exhaust.....that is the smallest single i would ever do on a 350 sized motor.

I lol'd when I read this...




Anyway, ummmm you pretty much have the right turbo for midrange and low end power for 475 rwhp... T67 is about as small as you can go IMO for that power goal.
