It really depends on your goals. These are the turbos I like if money is no object:

Streetable, 250-325 whp: GT28RS: $1100 for turbo only
300-425 whp: GT30R: $1300 for turbo only
375whp+ GT35R: $1400 for turbo only

These options obviously require some fabrication skills for the downpipe, oil return lines, etc.

If price is a consideration:

Streetable: CT27 (CT26 with modified turbine) from ATS racing. This is a rebuilt turbo but has 300+ whp capability under high boost.
275-375: ATS racing TDO6 kit. $2000
250-350: new 46 trim t3/t4 BOLT-ON from thespeedfactor.com. $1350.
350+: new 50 trim t3/t4 BOLT-ON from thespeedfactor.com. $1350

These last two are brand new and not proven yet but look promising.

I am going with a GT28RS.

Best regards,

Jay

took the words right out of my mouth

yea your 3sgte is cool but ill stick to my 7agte
dont knock the ct26 tho ....with a nice full 3in exahust and a fmic, it makes for one hell of a fun car.

i think i would upgrade to a ct27 or a ct20 if i wanted a change

just wanted to add something..... you cant do some of those turbo upgrades without upgrading to 550injectors and some type of piggy back. the stock fuel system is only good to about 260hp

so...if u just want a turbo upgrade and nothing else, the ct27 or ct20 would be a good choice

lagos...i just had my ct26 rebuilt....

i had it highflowed with a t3 h-pattern fanblade.... having the fmic fitted next monday.....will let you guys know how it goes..

312whp with more to come....
i want streetable closer to 300-350whp so im going on the t3/t4 idea i think. i want to run 660 or 720cc injectors and a full standalone ecu.
