T51KAI,  TO4R-BB  or the TO4Z are also good options

Give us a bell, we do a great system using either GT35 or GT40.

That\'s a hugely open ended question dude.

What do you use the car for? What are your power goals?
I\'ve recently spent a few months(!) trying to decide what to go for and I think I\'ve settled on a 1.06 GT35r. Should happily cope with low 400\'s atf, nice quick spool, and rapid response. Also not crazy money either. WGT and Owen Developments can both supply them for very good prices, and are top companies to deal with.

as previously stated. thats like saying  i want some alloys dont have budget.

what do you want it for mainly...

drag, track , street. bit of a mix.

have you got a HP aim.   400at fly or 550 fly. or just 300 fly and you just want it simpler than stock??

do you mind lag, hate it or like it.

all these questions alter turbo choices

the turbo choices are endless

answer the above and we`ll be able to guide you a bit more dude. dont jump straight to a trader. there are lots of quality second hand kits kicking around at reasonable money. decide on turbo first.

example.... my aim..track orientated turbo to get 425 at the wheels with spool up as close to twins as possible. i managed to get a kkk k27 full kit second hand for 1200 buck

To4R for me as the t88 is slightly more laggy but does probably produce more power.

If you want ultimate power go T88 , if you want a more road use then T04R
