Please help me choose a turbo
With 2.4L of displacement a AMS GT35R turbo kit can reach 20psi by 3600rpm. That's only 100rpm later than stock.

the thing is if you get 470 on 91 with an evogreen you're not gonna see much at 7k.
if you get a 3076 you'll see more... how much, iunno but it would give you the most balance that you're lookin' for.

Can you give us more specifics on your 2.4 build? What will the static compression ratio be? What brand of 280 cams? Will you be using the Crower 2.4 kit? When you say "built head", do you mean full ported & polished with oversized valves, etc.? How high will you be revving this 2.4L.?
I don´t know why people want to go with such dinky turbos on big displacement Evos. IMO, even a 20G-LT will just be a bottleneck device creating unwanted backpressure, preventing adequate combustion chamber scavenging.
With a 2.4L. I wouldn´t go smaller than a 3065. I mean the 2.4 is almost a 25% increase in displacement and the 20G-LT is just a stock sized replacement turbo. You should be able to get any turbo, within reason, to spoolup with a 2.4, given a good tune and a set of cam gears.

I am building a 2.4, which will primarily run on 91 octane (Ca.). my mods will be 280 cams, aem ems, built cylinder head, 65mm TB, fmic, 880cc inj, 3" exhaust
Good transient response is important to me. I would like to make ~450-475 on a dj
I dont want a laggy turbo, as this will be my DD.

450-475whp on 91 octane with a turbo that won't be laggy (even for 2.4L) is a tall order. The answer however, is a no-brainer IF you are willing to undergo a little more effort than a typical bolt-on turbo kit. You'll need to make a couple of minor changes to your hardware planning as well.
If you are seriously interested, I'll elaborate further.

please do, either here or pm
I have basically decided on a 3076r, i am not certain which exh. manifold.....I prefer the stealth look.....have people made decent power with the hafe exh manifold?
RRE /SBR use's them on their turbo kits.

The numbers below are general & basic, so dont get to worked up over the small stuff ( some viewers know who you are).
so i am currently putting down 360 whp / 180whp liter on a DJ....Whats that @ the crank??? ~425 +/- 7?
so 180 * 2.4 = 432. On top me rubbing on the engine before assembling it, the head will have +1mm valves, porting by me, ( i have +20 years in IMSA, CART, IRL & ALMS engine building & tuning w/18 manufacturer championships), aftermarket intake manifold, in addition to some friction reducing items i plan to put into my engine.
so 450-475 whp shouldnt be out of reach
