I ordered a 71hta that I never got around to installing and I have an even older t3 sheepey top mount kit I never installed.

The green wasn’t available at the time and I kind of lost interest in the car for awhile.

So now that the green is back again, should I grab that or buy a small precision turbo and finish my sheepey kit?

I just want a solid 450 whp 93 octane car, there’s no e85 where I live.

Motor is stock at the moment and I’m debating s2 cams soon.

Not sure what the newest small precision turbo is but I’m researching the 5858 currently, I want quick spool but this is no auto x car, just want a nice street car and I’m already over 2k if I go green even in the journal bearing config.

 

I would do the gen2 5558. Itll outspool the 5858 and make more power per. 450whp on 93 with S2 should be fairly easy for jt.

450 on a stock frame turbo is pushing it.

 

The 5858 and 5558 make 450 without even trying

 

How bad is the spool difference? I see some people mentioning fp black like spool.

 

The 5858 will be around 4800-5000. The 5558 will be about 4-500rpm earlier
