AR is not trim, and neither number is relevant unless you understand what they mean. You have lots and lots of reading and learning ahead of you before you're ready to upgrade turbos.

There are hundreds of guys running T3's on these forums. Don't experiment with an un-proven turbo combination, it just doesn't make sense.

What is done to your EVO? How much power do you want to make? How fast do you want to go? What is the primary and secondary use for the car? How much money do you have to spend on the project?

You can PM if you like.

Hey well I have an 03 evo. The motor is not built at all but I have a set of hks 272 cams for it with a set of aem cam gears that I havent installed yet oh yeah and a magnus intake manifold but hey thats no biggie.
As for the rest i have the basics: downpipe, cat delete, exhaust, intake, walbro fuel pump, fuel rail, bov, fpr, boost controller theres probably more but thats off the top of my head.

Anyways as most of us here I have my hopes set high but not too much cash to spend on my dream car.
If I got my car in the 350HP I would be a happy man.
So far for my project I have a dnp t3/t4 manifold and thats about it hehe. But hey thanks for listening.

look into a journal bearing 50 trim turbo. that should get you well over 350 and still not break the bank

If your looking for 350hp just purchase the applicable buschur stages get a good tune and drive hard, be free. Basicly what im saying is you dont need a turbo upgrade such as a t3 or t3/t4. The numbers you are aiming for are easily achieved with stock turbos with boltons and a good tune.

If you only want 350 hp then get rid of the DNP manifold, Magnus intake, cam gears, FPR and then use that money to buy the few missing parts you need. The car will make 350 hp on the stock turbo.

You need the biggest/best front mount you can buy, upper/lower ic pipes and a tune from someone who knows what they are doing.
