Future turbo selection tips?
Im looking for tips on selecting a turbo to add to my build. I mostly use my evo for random fun i like to get on it do pulls and just enjoy the car and how it handles. Im trying to figure out what turbo might work best for me. Im pretty much all for massive acceleration. Im not sure if i want to go and build the block or if i need to for what i want out of the car. What would you guys recommend for just getting a faster acceleration out of the car throughout the whole power band and why? If i need to build the block to acheive it id like to go all out and stroke it and bore it.
right now im running a full ets intake kit 3.5 in intercooler intake all the piping and ets recirc downpipe highflow cat and specd catback im going to install my grimspeed ebc when i get to the tuner in the near future its going to be cobb tuned.

The CBRD RB-X kit with EFR 7163 for good power and quick spool, Full Race 8374 kit for slower spool with big power potential. If you don't want to buy a complete turbo kit and just looking for a bolt on turbo, I love my GTX3576R from ATP. Or there's always the MHI 18K.
Choices, choices...

And I have room to grow should I choose switch to E85 and/or build the block in the future. I believe the 3576 can do up to 650hp or something. Not very laggy either for being a relatively big turbo.
For comparison, a stock X on this particular dyno puts down 220-240whp. Over 150 more to the wheels is pretty substantial.

It's plenty. And the linear power delivery makes it feel very good. Much different than stock. Pulls nice to 8K rpm rather than hitting a brick wall halfway to redline like the factory turbo.

Here's mine. It's actually only 410 whp, not 420. This was a retune after installing the turbo kit. I have a more recent tune where I got rid of the ETS intake I had, in favor of the CBRD 3" MAF intake. Similar numbers on the retune, I think it was slightly higher power with slightly less boost.
