Ok from the voting poll I have going a lot of you are saying go with HTA86. I want people to know that this car isn't my dd. Only a every once a while drive around kill v8's and go to the strip.
Hta 86 would be my choice. I prefer forced performance over precision any day and there turbos last longer and they have better customer service at fp
is this just pure biased fiction or do you have facts or proof of this?
can't believe how many random posts i read about how PTE's are pure junk,funny thing is they sell them by the truck load to real racers and us.they must be doing something right.
As for PTE or any other turbo brand, just do a google search and make up your own mind.
Hey Op im actually having my car built pretty soon and am going with a 2.3l. For turbo ive been reading alot and was pretty set on the hta86r until a couple friends suggested pte 6266, 6466. Im not a fanboy of either I just want something thats going to be reliable and make good power. Pte does make good turbos but I have read of more guys having problems with them than the hta series. Thus im going to spend the little extra and go the hta86 route as Ive seen multiple threads on what it can do.
I havent heard of any hta failures (not saying there hasnt been any) but ive heard of pte. They definetely are good and all but I think they sell so good because they are cheaper overall compared to the hta series.

Here is an email I got from Buschur:
As for the turbo choice. **The HTA86 is my all time favorite T3, they are hard to get at times and the PTE6466 is a little bit less expensive and also works very good, so either one will work well for you. *The 6466 may even work better on the 2.4 to be honest.

To offer another point to this since you said "decrease daily drivability", I actually liked my laggy 10:1 2.0L/35R combo for daily driving better than my 2.4L/IX Turbo, as I could just cruise around town out of boost before and get Honda-like gas milage lol.
however,i only race my car in a straight line.
if i wanted to race around a track,i would go no bigger than a 35 on a 2.4LR,but i don't.the only track racing in my are is scca and i tried it once and never got out of 2nd gear,no thanks.wot,slam brakes,wot,slam brakes,wot,slam brakes.very borinf and very hard on the car imo.

The only way I would go to a 6466 is if or when my HTA86 grenades. I would only do so because FP lost their mind on turbo pricing. Everything is going up but our paychecks.. lol
