Which Turbo would you choose

Never buy a PTE ball bearing turbo unless you want to be replacing them every 10k. I come from the disregarded land of dsms, and i have PROOF these BB turbos **** the bed quite often. Stick to a FP turbo or a MHI turbo. FP def. know their ****, and their turbos are VERY nice. But im sure you know that.

I say do the FP HTA 3586R. From everything I have read about the HTA 35 turbo's, the .86 spools 2-300 RPM later than the .82 on a stock 2.0L. it Should be at full spool around 3600 RPM.
And I dont know **** about the PTE 6262 other than it is a Frickin' MONSTER of a turbo and that it is to small for a 2.0l to be effective.

No one has asked what he is using the car for... is it street only, road course, auto x, drag? This will ultimately make your decision for you. IMO I think you should put the red on and see how you like it, then if you want more, go bigger. That 3586 is a swweeetttt turbo though, if you got the change, go for it.

Buschur is running 8's with the HTA 3586. Both are strong and I'm not worried about the cost difference. Like I said in your post "go with the HTA 3586 because others in Colorado are running the 6262"

Sorry for the confustion Mike. I meant to imply your company- AWD Motor Sports. I assumed it was one of your cars:

If you're planning on building the engine, then the larger turbos would be a better choice IMO. My car is shifted close to 9k to get a 10.5 time at Bandimere.

Most of these horror stories for the PTE turbos were years ago when they used 270 thrust bearings instead of the 360. But, the BB turbos still had problems a few years back as well.
