Hi,
I am looking at different turbos for my set-up and i am wondering what you guys are using or have used and some feedback.
I am still hesitating to build a 2.1 stroker before i boost it, but i guess that won't make much of a difference.

Thanks for all your feedbacks

Hi franck!

I see you're seriously thinking boost for your next engine....

To get an answer you should probably state a power/boost goal as it won't be the same turbo if you aim at 200 or 400hp...

Cheers

Yup, if the swap is sold as planned i will be installing the m42 back in the bay

Honestly, i'm shooting for 300 hp, more or less.
Something reliable that yields about the same performan�e as the v8 swap
I have been looking at garrett turbos, i'm thinking a gt28 or gt30 would be more than ok, but then i'll have to find the rit trims
My buddy will build the exhaust manifold and i'm planning on building a plenum with m50 or m30 intake.

M50 intakes are plastic so you probably meant S50 (euro), right?
That would better/easier/more suited than a M30 one but the work required to mod it seems as important as building one from scratch, don't you think?

I actually meant the intake butterfly
I have seen mods from 666fab that were selling an adapter to install an m50 butterfly.
I dońt think i'll bother with the s50 ITBs since the FI will yeild some good numbers with just a good plenum.
What do you think?

you're probably right that it's not worth the hassle for a FI build!
