so im looking for a turbo and i was wondering what you guys had (if any) the prices, psi, cost and all that

thanks

What engine and what are your goals?

I'm assuming the stock at200, lke me. I too am thinking of getting a turbo for mine. I just don't think it is worth it to drop a new engine in for 5000 when I don't race.

i have a 1.8 ST with a cold air intake and i just want more power. im not to serious about it yet. im thinking doing more on the body but after that i dont know. cause im almost done. just gota get rims and a body kit. which ill have by the end of the summer for sure.

if you want to turbo

Garret T3 super 60 is your best pick
read the sticki

"wanting more power" isn't quite specific enough to give you intelligent advice. Please either give goals of hp or torque or provide us with what you plan to do (street machine, drag, autocross, etc). Also, if you give us your budget, that could be helpful in providing advice too.

oh sorry. im thinking more street machine. so that way i can put a bunch of stuff on my car so it dosnt make it ricie. im looking for a hp gain that is noticeable. my bidget dosnt really matter becasue i have a good paying job and i can just save up for it. the turbo isnt something im looking into like right now but just in like a couple months or so

Do some research check out what everyone else is doing. Read the stickies on celicatech and the ones here on 6gc.......

For your car a T3 super 60 would be perfect. My friend has it on his1.8 7th gen celi and its perfect.

For a street machine 6gc and no budget issues, my advice would be 3rd gen 3s swap, i/h/e, boost controller, boost and oil pressure guages, MR2T or Camry/Solara V6 tranny, custom exhaust (at least 2.5"), a good suspension (either Koni Yellows and decent lowering springs or some REAL coilovers) and sticky tires. I might buy a bigger turbo depending on my traction issues with the ct20b.

If I had an unlimited budget for a street machine that would retain the 7afe, I would recommend that you buy the turbo I have (GT28RS w/ .63 A/R), at least 550cc injectors, an aftermarket engine management system, some sort of anti-knock protection, and a tune by a competent tuner (as well as the other non-engine related items referenced above). Some of the Audi and Volkswagon guys are getting 300+ whp out of their gt28rs powered 1.8 liter engines. Not the same but a nice reference.

In all honesty, however, neither of these answers would do you much good if you were really just looking to add a turbo to your ten year old economy engine. People with those kind of cars ALWAYS have a budget and most often it is much more modest than the first two options I outlined would require. As such, I recommend that you get some smaller garrett turbo as the other guys have recommended.

alright thanks. i wasnt saying i have an unlimited buget. but this way i can choose what i want to do or not. then first second so on and so forth. thanks again

thats all you would do with an unlimited budget! Oh my where do I start? Where would I finish heh..... I dont even want to think about it.

I had the money it would be ChrisK built motor / gt2871......

if retaining your stock motor i would suggest looking into getting some head work as that will probably help out the motor a good deal..its head is a given restriction to the motor...
