Help Me Pick My Next Turbo!
^ That depends on the rest of your setup, short course or long course (long straights = need for top end), budget, and driving style. If your on a stock block with bolt-ons, i'd go no larger then a 50trim but would stay with a green. It's proven to be the best for most of the drivers out there. Road racing requires boost to be there no matter what gear your in, and the smaller the turbo, the earlier it will get with the program. Several racing tunes on a green have yeilded 450ish HP on race gas.
For a medium built motor, say 2.1 - 2.2, i'd stick with the 30's because you can spool those just as well as a 2.0 can a 50 trim at that point. Plus you can handle the added boost and the rest that comes with it.
For a high end build, there are a FEW regular people who have a 35r, but the lag is almost like an on/off switch unless you have a far-out tune/build and nice long straights/long curves to take advantage of it.
However if your trying to LAST in a race, rather then attack one or two lap times like most of the high dollar shop cars, the more SIMPLE your setup, the happier you will be because you will actually cross the finish line...but still be broke (money wise)
I think "don't even think about using meth" goes without saying. Again this is not just opinion but results from other people that have tried this before you.

It's a 1.28 housing. The 1.01 housings work well for a weekend warrior that sees street duty, but they will choke power off up top once you start throwing boost at it. The 1.28 housings are perfect for a straight up drag car and the 1.15 housings fill the void in between the two quite nicely.

Thanks for all the reply's guys! So im guessing the 4202R with 1.15 would probably be a good compromise then? Still would love to see how things work out with your car USP let us know when you can.
