Which turbocharger...
Hello
I have a little questions concerning turbos.
Soon the TPI will be installed and I`m thinking of building a TT setup for my 305. But I don`t know which turbo would be optimal. Garrett, T04, K04?? I `ll be pleased if get around 450 hp and that`s all. Which turbo ( two) will be adequate? What about the size of turbo, there isn`t much room in 3 gen engine bay? Can I install any turbo? I don`t want to make a killer pro stock or other monster out of my car. Just around 450 hp would be more than adequate.
Another question is, where to get forged pistons, crankshaft and connecting rods for 305 L03 ? I`m quite aware of what happens to my stock internal components when I put on the turbos.
Thanks for any help.
If this topic was disscused earlier I apologise.
Regards
Marcin

i know a dude thats a ford 2.3l turbo freak... does some crazy stuff... he says 2 of those should be good on a mild tpi350 to like 400-450 rwhp with a redline at 5.5k and a mild cam...

Yup. I`ve seen them too. They look pretty nice concerning that they are used.
Well what is your opinion? Buy them or not?
