[quote=supersal;8998749]Haha, will look you up when next I'm in Malaysia...

Like the guys have said for the manifold you have a Stock Frame Turbo like and FP green will bolt on and meet your power goals...

But on your $1100 budget for a Ball Bearing, Water and Oil cooled Turbo I think the 50 Trim will give the best balance of power and spool for a T3 framed turbo...

GT3076R will spool later; GT3071R will spool much better than a 3076 but will be limited to about 450hp...

The Default T31 4 bolt outlet GT Style housing will do the job:

http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchant...Category_Code=

I take it welding and fab work is more affordable over there like it is here in SA, you need:
T3 Flanged Manfold
Modify Downpipe for the T31 4bolt outlet
Dump Tube for your 38mm Wastegate

Antisurge Compressor cover not a bad idea if you can afford it

Only other option to retain your current manifold and get decent spool on a budget is to go with the 3071 with the much hated ATP style housing which bolts to stock manifold...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GARRETT-EVO8-Turbo-EVO4-EVO9-GT3071R-GT3037S-GT3540R-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem587faafbbeQQitemZ38009 9034046QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccesso ries

ps. prepare to be flamed - guys on here will hate you for this - housing design is not great, cant match stock frame turbos for spool, only one that spools half decent is the: GT3071R _63AR but bang for the buck (ball bearing) it is...

Sal

Thanks Sal,
last question is, will the Exhaust Manifold common to plug in this garrett T04E 50trim, GT3076R or GT3071R turbos able to fit or required much mod & will there be enough space.

First, 380-450whp on what dyno; it will make a big difference. Second, this number can be achieved many different ways but nobody knows your opinion of lag better than yourself. Third, the suggestion; If you are going off of dyno jet numbers, a stock 9 turbo or FP HTA green will get you your numbers very easily and have the least amount of "lag". If you are basing your numbers off of a mustang dyno, then a FP HTA Green will be your answer (this is all on pump gas as well).

i would think an fp red would accomplish the power goals the best without having to push the turbo to really high boost levels but still have decent spool

Each person has their own idea of what is acceptable lag for them, If you dont mind the lag, have a look at some of the stock block 35r Dyno Sheets and ask the guys with those set-ups about driving experiance...

I have a AMS HTA30R on a stock Block and I love it - its a blast to drive, dont care if guys here think I will be beat by stock frame turbos, I just like the way it pulls to redline even on low boost...

Hope that helps.


regards
Sal

Fastest response and minimal lag......HKS GT II 7460. Made my BBK Full feel like a laggy turbo. I made over 450 on a dynojet with it.
