hello. Dont want to reveal the mods right now but I will be boosting a maximum of 1.6 bar and hoping to hit somewhere between 4-500bhp.
Now the question is which turbo to go for. Thed double bearing JGYBB37 - TO4B from JGY customs looks perfect for the job but is there any other turbo that can match this one but for a better price maybe?

Thankful for all tips, I would prefer to have good spoolup to so Im not interested in big diesel truck turbos :)

regards
Gagge

I have the largest jgy turbo and you won't get 500bhp at 1.6bar you might see 450 though :wink: but you'll need at least a decent dump pipe and probably a better manifold aswell :wink: I'll be doing this soon so we'll have to see how it turns out :D

:shock: until you add the custom/modified manifold for external gate, the external gate itself, custom downpipe and wastegate pipe, custom intake and intercooler piping etc to make it work :wink: you could probably add another £1k to the price of the turbo for that little lot.
Though if I was to change turbo or do it again I'd probably go with the 3037 or greddy 25g setup 8)

Yes, does work out quite expensive even if you can get the turbo cheap, shame HKS don't do a kit for the R :(

This is my situation. I will be doing a custom exhaust including the turbo elbow and custom piping for the intercooler anyways so thats no worries. However I was still thinking of using the stock manifold. So the question is, which is the best choice, the JGY one or the HKS one, how much will the HKS be with the external wastegate, custom manifold and the custom manifold for the external wastegate ?

To ginga: If Im able to get 450bhp I am more then satisfied, the goal is over 400.

Thanks for the help and keep the discussion up, any other options then the JGY or the HKS one ?

Cheers

tbh if you just want over 400bhp on 1.6bar the jgybb37 would probably be the better choice over the jgybb37r version.
Theres also the hks gt2835R thats rated at 420bhp but thats pretty much the same as the jgy turbo really expect the jgy turbo is a dircet fit on the standard manifold where the hks version will require a spacer between the head and manifold due to its 4" inlet which is a bit over the top for 400bhp imho
The 3037 can be fitted to the standard manifold but it will require modifing for use with a external gate and if you went for the one's with the 4" inlet you'd need to space the manifold from the head again :wink:

I would go with a Garrett GT series GT30 turbo these are available with internal wastegates and are good up to 480bhp but you would need to run more than 1.6bar boost to acheive this so roughly you can expect 450bhp from 1.6bar.www.atpturbo.com should be able to sort you out with this turbo for a cheap price and reliable service I would contact by phone though
