But what ever turbo's you are considering, do look up the compressor efficiency graphs and try to learn how to understand them if you don't already.

Some turbo's might get you 410 bhp but take ages to spool then give all the power in an instant like a 2 stroke power band.
Where as another turbo might give you 390bhp and spool from 2500rpm. Which means more 'area under the graph' on the dyno graph = feels way faster 95% of the time.

If you're feeling nerdy and like to do your own research then learn how to understand compressor efficiency graphs. It might help you whittle down the choices.

getting my engine back first week in January it's now been completed with new pistons bearings etc.

I spoke to Shem and he was extremely helpful and it looks like I'm getting a hybrid turbo to get me to the 420 horsepower Mark
