u guys are crazy to put such an expensive turbo on a stock redtop with probably high mileage

ur even more crazy for trying to keep a t25 flange on it

If i had a redtop right now I would rock a $400 turbo with a rebuildable center section because the engines life is timed and when it goes it could eat the turbo along with it

Absolutely no reason to use such an expensive unit

I just tuned a built sr with one of those new garret turbos. the compressor flows like 55lb/min we were able to squeeze 440rwhp from the injectors but it took 28psi of boost

So $5000 engine + $2000 turbo and you get around 50 more horsepower, and that was a top mount unit too. NOT WORTH IT

Totally pointless on a stock engine because you won't use 28 psi of boost. Just use a cheap turbo good for pump fuel and 18~psi of boost IMO

I stand behind my advice. use a cheap oem engine with a cheap turbo. Keep spare of both. 18psi 380rwhp. Not like you are going to get much more than that from any other turbo on a stock engine.. whats the point of spending extra...
