Hi all
Yes this is another turbo advice post so I apologise but I couldn't find what I was looking for on the forum or on the web
I have a face lift GT, and am looking at getting a kinugawa turbo. I have a basic understanding on the various options available but want to know from anyone who has one, or knows about them which is better suited to 2.5T lib engines? Ie: would a Td05 18g 8cm be more suited than a td05 20g 7cm, Or is 16g more suited ect. Ill prob get the billet version and sts 9 blade (vs 12) unless someone advises otherwise? And is a larger boost actuator over 1bar needed?
I'd consider other turbos ie vf52 but these kinugawa ones are in my $1000 price range and seem to get good reviews all round.
Current mods are phat dump/hks cat back, AVO top mount i/c, 3 port boost solenoid, hks panel filter, silicone intake, Insight tune to 168kw atw.
I'm not after a specific power figure but would like something in 200-220kw range, mainly so that the power difference will be obvious over what I currently have. The VF46 drops off too early which was noticeable when I did a track day. I'm aware I'm gonna get more lag but want to keep this to a minimum over the vf46.
I'll also get new fuel pump and injectors to support the mods.
This forum has been real helpful with the mods so far and any other mechanical issues I've had, so any advice on this topic would be much appreciated.
Thanks again
