Hey guys Iv been lurking around the forums now for about a month. I just picked up a nice clean VL Turbo and wanting some feedback on turbo choices. Iv had a 880hp R33 9 months ago but since that was my first turbo car i built i dont know a huge amount about turbo sizes and power ranges when it comes to it. i ran a T04z on the r33 but im only looking for about 250 rwkw as iv got a 11 month old and anything beyond that power is a waste to me as id never use it. What recommendations would you guys advise? I was thinking a Garrett GT35/40 or even the GTX3572R.. Does anyone run these turbos now and are you happy with responce, rpm it hits full boost and top end power? Already got some other mods like 444cc injectors, 044 pump, FMIC, motec ecu and high mount.. still need a turbo wastegate ill get some coils and good tune up and ill be set.. Any feedback would be good guys as its my first VL and it seems a good community here to gain feedback.
