Go back one post and read what I recommended. The RED is a BADASSSSS turbo if you can wait awhile for one to get to you. I ordered mine and waited 7-8 weeks. I ended up actually have 2 fp reds and sold both of them, I wanted a larger turbo that could make more power at a lower boost level. Lag wasn't important to me. If you don't want lag get a red...

APS turbo kits are junk, search for the horor stories my friend

I would go with a FP Red and Buschur ported and coated manifold. It will be under $2k and leave you an extra $1k for other mods. If I was doing it, get all your supporting mods you have listed, take the extra $1k and get an aem ems. there are guys going 10s on the red and also guys going 9s if you want to go all out! with the mods you have listed with a Red, buschur tune on an AEM on Buschurs dyno, you could see 425-450. thats around 500 on a dynojet.

Depends on what you want, yes the Red will be cheaper and its a forced performance turbo. They have proven to be the best at what they do.

How much power are you looking for? Do you want streetable instant power and torque or do you want a laggy street setup??

Sounds like the CBRD BBk set up with a few mods would do the trick for you with room for potential. Thats my vote.. rode in a few BBK cars... very very impressed.

Well if you want 500whp on pump gas you will need a larger turbo. (red and bbk are out of the question there). If you want 500whp on race gas/meth the red and bbk should put you where you wanna be.

if you want that kind of power on Pump, you need a fully built motor, top and bottom end and at least an htA3582. your looking in the area of $15k for that if you do all the work yourself.

Id say go with fp red, pump with meth, Aem ems. That will get you close. You need alot of dough though to get in the 500s on pump. that is pretty much a 600 hp race gas car.

If you want that power on pump gas that would even be a struggle for a 35r/61mm, I mean you could get there but at a good amount of boost. Most 35r cars make around 420-450pump gas (unless your mellon and 30psi on pump haha which is amazing btw). You are gonna need like a 67mm/37r pt6262 or what he said a hta35r.
