Which turbo is best for me?

So heres the deal. Currently I run an older AMS turbo kit with an htz86 stuffed into a .63 exhaust housing. The car makes great power, spools up well for what it is and I have enjoyed it. I am looking at going to a forward facing setup next year to take advantage of a larger .82 exhaust housing too. My choices are the PTE6466 or the Xona8267. I have always been a fan of FP. I like their stuff, always had good luck with it. I see the 6466 is a very popular turbo for these cars. I am running a 2.3 that I rev to 8500 max, so the top end isnt an absolute must for me as I am not revving real high anyways. I am looking for the turbo to give me the best powerband on the 2.3. I am looking to take this car to a consistent high 9 mid 9 sec car.

The Xona are on sale right now too lol. I can have one at my door for like 1840 shipped with the Tial .82 vband housing. Thats a good deal for that turbo. The pte6466 is around 1900 to my door from a hookup lol.

thoughts?

Messaged you! Let me know when you're ready. I actually really like the 6466's and have had great results with them. We have a ton of bottom nine second full street cars on them with no issues.

Which ever turbo you decide to go with, Give me a shot. I may be able to save you some money.
