Need some opions on what turbo I should run

00slvrlightning · 12-29-2008, 11:38 PM

Basically my build is a 2000 ford lightning. I have a built motor with 4v heads, stock cams, sullivan upper and lower intake, etc. Also running a built trans with a 3200 stall. Fuel system consistof a aeromotive system with a sump tank, eliminator pump and filters with sullivan fuel rails and 95lb. injectors. I am having trouble deciding which turbo to go with. Either a 76mm or a 88 mm. The truck will see the street and track. any insite would be appreciated.

76 if its more of a street truck. 88 if you want to run with the big boys.

+1, you will be very impressed with the Precision PT76gtsh, they also have an 88 with a T4 flange but it may just spool alittle too slow initially on street trim. Consider a lockup convertor type with at least 2600 stall too.

Ditto. 76 is the street slayer. 88 is for the track and racing Veyrons on the Autobahn

Is it a stock cube motor?

Look into the Precision PT8047 w/ the .96 a/r T4 flange. You can always step up the exhaust housing on this turbo so you will have some room to grow if need be.

Yep 76 for street 88 for the big powa!

Exactly why I am recommending the 80mm with the better Garrett 47 CHRA. It's the turbo I would have if I didn't come across such a good deal on the PT88
