Ive decided that i want to drop a turbo in my car. Im really new at this but im not sure what to do. Ive searched the forum but didnt really find sth that answers my question completely.

That's a BIG turbo for a daily driver -- lotsa fun but way more lag than stock. If you go with something that big, you're going to need a lot of supporting mods.
I'd get something smaller...

oh damn, i thought since its a twin turbo the lag would be less.
thanks for the tips man
so smaller as in HKS GTII/FP green/BBX lite right, is there anything else?

Those are better choices for a daily driver for sure!

Several other choices, browse around here

thanks man! im wondering is bbx full too much for a DD tho?

For a DD the 35R is going to be laggy, even with supporting mods it will take a lot for that turbo to come alive. Your best bet would be something else if you are looking for it to punch down low with no lag. I have an FP Red currently with full bolt ons and make about 420 whp (roughly) and am happy with it. I would check out companies that make more of a stock frame turbo and not the 35R

I hope you meant twin scroll. If you really thought twin turbo...... maybe you need to do some researching. I'm just saying.

hows the spooling for FP red?

That's what I was thinking.

I would either get an Green or BBX-lite. If you think you will want more power and would sacrifice just a LITTLE lag for it than go for a BBX full or FP Red. Neither of those spool that bad though. Are you running pump gas?

I would just get all ETS products for supporting mods. You would probably want an UICP, intercooler, turbo-back exhaust, injectors and maybe a new fuel pump.

Also if your not in a hurry, MAP is in process of in- house making turbos for the X, 8/9's just got released last month. They should be out soon.

The first thing you will need to do is decide how much power you want to make and build your setup accordingly.

The problem we see customers run into with stock frame turbochargers is they never make the power they want at a decent boost level. Most stock frame turbochargers require boost levels in the 30 psi range to make decent / over stock power levels. This will require an alternate fuel like E85, Race Gas or Meth. By running this much boost on a stock frame turbocharger you pull it out of it's efficiency range which blows a ton of excess hot air/heat. They can make the power, but just not reliable. They are also a journal bearing turbocharger compared to the ball bearings you can get in a T3 form.

The T3 turbochargers seem to make the power a bit easily. For example a 35R will make 500 around 25-27psi on pump, where a stock frame turbocharger is going to require 30-35psi to make this power.

If your looking for a fast spooling turbocharger I would recommend the 3076 (HTA or Standard), PT5857. If you don't mind a later spool up 4700-5000rpm the 35R is a great choice, but it's all going to depend on your goals. Your end result should determine which turbo your going to go with. Nothing worse then purchasing multiple turbo kits or turbochargers to reach your goal.

IF you have any other questions, let me know!

Here is a link to our turbo kits which have a ton of options to choose from!
