Which turbo to go with?

Hoping you're going with a tr8 sized core otherwise CPE / ets tmic wins

Yep I'm planning on purchasing Edge's TR8 kit they have for sale. The price point is doable for me, funny thing is I currently run a ETS TMIC.

Built motor? What are you goals for said future motor?

4032 pistons from SP63, Manley H-beams, and either an EFR7163 or a new Gen II GTX3071r and 500whp @ 7k rpms. I'll prolly go VT at that time too. I'm basically going to carry a flat 390-400wtq from as soon as I can all the way until redline (for the tracks, etc.). I may make a balls-out map, too.

There will obviously be tons of extra/support stuff. I'm basically aiming for a track/auto-x/road coarse warrior that'll have a very long service life (4032s), yet be just as comfortable DD'ing because of that alloy (no longer warm-up times, etc.). We have a great local shop who successfully builds lots of Speed motors to help me figure out details. I'll also be likely spraying 2 CM12s for my extra fueling.

Edit: @Redline pretty sure neganox's question was directed at the OP not you...sigh

LOL. I think you're correct. I had talked about building, and his comment right after mine with no quotes to indicate who he was addressing threw me off. Oops!

Sorry, OP :)

Haha that is true about that, I'm just seeing what would fit into my current budget since I'm trying to get rid of my tmic & install a fmic setup instead since the tmic makes it a pain to work on the car plus I can keep my BAT's relatively low.

Having the shitstone piping installed made it harder to work on the car compared to a TMIC in my case. HTP piping made everything better though.

GO-AUTOWORKS (BNR's buddy) makes a T3/T4 flanged manifold and he can use whatever flange you need if you have something else. Full-Race has their EFR flanged manifold. FJ can probably do the same as the GO-AUTOWORKS guy too with their manifold. So you have some options.

If I was building my car, I'd look into the EFR route.

Treadstone eats penises.

CS revised the hotside for their turbo. Seems like the only people who have overboost issues with it now are those who don't set proper preload on the wastegate. *cough moose cough* Not to mention that the overboost issue was blown out of proportion, to begin with; it was something that needed to be remedied (which they have worked on) but was realistically only happening to a minority of owners.

I have the CS and really like it so far. Tune is not done though. No creep or spike issues. It has a nice scream to it on spool. Have been sitting at 22psi lately. I checked pre-load before I installed it and it was spot on. You can check my sig for my setup.
 
You need this turbo
