Black or Red turbo??
I'm curious too about this. I'm stock right now but had done the following:
HKS 272 Cams, AMS Fuel Rail, 880 CC Fuel Injector, Walbro 255 LPH Fuel Pump, Full Turbo Back Megan Exhaust, ACT Stage 2 Racing Clutch (came with the car), Greddy Boost Controller, GreddyTurbo Timer, HKS Air Intake. ETS 3.5 FMIC with UICP and LICP on the way.
What turbo should I get? I'm trying to hit over 500whp. I see alot of people with what I have and only making under 400hp.
I'm a newb so hit me with it.
P.S. Im deployed so time is limited to search so sorry if im asking questions that have already been posted. Some people get real testy about this instead of just helping people new to the game out.
Thanks

The 200rpm it loses to spool isnt much when the Black can make so much more out the top. It really comes down to how you want to make your power, pump, pump meth, racegas, E85, etc. Either turbo will make 500whp. A Black will do it on pump.
well considering i got a red with 250 miles on it for a parting out a totaled evo for just labor and getting a built block with barley 250 miles also for a grand...im doing good....but the black seems to be the cats meow lol.

Well I think the Junior kept the Tq below 400.....I want to say it was 380-390 when I asked why he said the car had more miles on it then compared to mine and the customer wanted to come back in the spring to rebuild the motor. The customer had meth in the car but wasn't running it. He is still debating if he wants to run it or sell it and get race gas.
