sounds like you are well on your way... I was wondering because you said you are looking it to be a street car, but what kind of street car.. Big power up top, consistent power throughout, quick spool.. etc.. My car is completely built as well, but I stayed with the 2.0L and went with the 5857 BB.. I didn't give up much on spool, but the power has already been proven to be amazing.. With your 2.2L you have a lot of options depending on what you want in the end. My initial reaction would be to take a look at the Borg Warner turbos (S36X and new S400 series). Their numbers are impressive to say the least. Im not a huge fan of journal bearing turbos, but rebuilds have been noted to be a whole lot easier on them compared to the others.. And BW just straight out perform. Not disagreeing with o3geclipse up top about an HTA35R or 37, but they just seemed so played out.. anyway, good luck and check your PM's .. Mike

The AMS kits are nice, but I really dont like the 5 bolt setup, it really needs to be changed. I would personally use the Full Race or ETS kits. T4 twin scroll is the way to go, but since Garrett has their larger T3 twin scroll housings, thats also an option.

This is exactly why I switched from an AMS kit to the Buschur kit. With the AMS kit your stuck with a .63 A/R 5-bolt housing nomatter what you do. If your happy with a .63 A/R exhaust housing then the kit is fine, quality is very good. It's just I didnt want my options to be limited.
