Pretty lofty for the average guy.. Any turbo can be daily driven however. Its the the clutch that starts to get annoying and the problems you will start having when you start to make that much power.

Hta82 is a really good choice and start taking some weight out of your sled

Are you going to do any weight reduction? Is this a built motor i presume? what kind? what are we working with here? We have nothing to go off of....except this is an evo we're talking about.

Usually, its an fp black/3582/3586 or bigger is what ive seen.

I'm pretty happy with my full weight evo 8. It's got a 6262 and has made 700whp. The car can run some high 9's, I just haven't had any great seat time with it. It's pretty comfortable to drive around on the streets. I think a 6262 is a pretty good turbo that'll get you where you want to be.
