A couple of things to take in consideration is that I want a daily driver, reliable. Also I dont have emissions where I live and another is that it I drive only 20 miles a day to work and back. Straight shot, no stops, 2 lane highway in the boonies. Im leaning toward the 60-1. What do you guys that have the 60-1 think of it? I heard its good for the streets and spools up quick. Any feedback?

T-78 been there, done that (actually twice!)
RX-6 been there, done that
Im more of a street driver and i persoanlly prefer wide power band.. saying that i suggest the RX-6.
The T-78 is a great turbo but its just too big.
if you looking for a great compromise between the 2 turbos then look into the GT35/40.. that turbo spools up quite fast and gives nice top end
good luck!

I even beat a viper gts@10psi.. it was a rich kid who didnt know his car. if you have some of those single turbo supras around, i think the t-78 would be a good choice. the lag isnt bad at all. I say the hell with lag and down shift. i guess a few people ant tried it yet but it works for me.
i dont understand why people race from 2500-3500 rpms??? why?? 5k is where Im at!!

If you want a drag turbo then a T78 is good. KDR gave me a comparision dyno chart with a T78 at 16psi. My turbo kicked its butt and I was at 14psi untill 5.5k rpms then the T78 kicked my butt. So if you want a steetable turbo then I would not go with the T78. The T78 peak was 378rwhp.

CARTEST2000 simulates it at high 11s - low 12s 121mph at 14psi. 124 mph at 21psi.
Not as good as I had hoped but Dave said with the water injection it should be bullet-proof. Dave does not tune at the ragged edge.

. I really need a kaaz lsd, so im going to a $20 doller boost controller(come with 3 year warranty ) im going to have mine modified when it come to rebiuld it. The thing is about the 35/40 is that I heard it cant be rebiult(is that true?). The t-78 parts are hard to find to. But I think anything can be rebiult.

If you want quick spool, plenty of top end and have the cash for the GT35/40 kit, I highly recommend it.

maybe a gt40?? I heard that it spools just a fast as the 35/40 but bit bigger(a lil bit). Is anybody running one of these?? The 62-1 spools fast also(im assuming). I think one guy made 420@15 psi with one.(what I heard)
