upgraded turbo?!
ok heres my plan: in about a years time i will have a bunch of money to spend. my goal as far as power is low 12's. with a streetported engine, using a standalone ECU (yet to be determined which one.) but my question right now is which turbo to use. the bnrsupercars stage 4 upgraded stock turbo with a 60-1 compressor seems like a good choice. heres what it says on the site
60-1 compressor wheel
· T04B package
· 360 thrust package
· Choice of turbine wheels (t3 hiflow, 0 trim, 69 trim, or P trim)
· Standard external wastegate flange added to your turbine housing ( external wastegate is additional)
· Ported turbine housing entrance
how much of a difference would a full turbo upgrade using the same compressor wheel make? in terms of HP at around 15psi? would it be worth the much higher price? and i dont know much about the turbine wheels... what is the difference between the options? and what size wastegate would i need to keep the boost under control?
i also have a question about wastegates. where does the exhaust go? back into the engine bay? i understand how they work, i've just never seen on in real life.
im just full of questions tonight

thanks for the info! thats exactly what i needed!
but i will probbably still end up going with a hybrid because it would cost around $1000 more for a full upgrade (with manifold, DP, lines etc...) unless i end up with more money than i expected, i will probbably put that $1000 towards suspension.
