Ok, so here is the deal, the 855T is the wifes DD, currently the car has a 15g that was rebuilt a few years ago but because of the turbo whine and smoke at idle I am starting to think this turbo might be on its way out. So here is the deal, I want to upgrade the turbo BUT I am not wanting to go all crazy on this car (yet). The car is manual swapped and while I am about to build a full exhaust for it I am trying to determine which turbo is the best fit for it. While I have a 19t on my 945 that I could swap onto this car am not a fan of super quick spooling turbos on white blocks because of the uh known issues they have.
So because of this I am trying to think of other turbo options that are a good fit for say a 300whp car. For the time being the car is only running 10psi and I am working on relearning more about tuning M4.3. While I do have a spare white block that I might build up for this chassis who knows.
Back to turbos, so on paper for sure I would want a .63 Volvo turbine housing and prob something like an ATP WG. Past that I am trying to make sense of a reasonable compressor side. The car is the Wife's DD until I get her something newer which might be a few years so I am not looking for a giant t3/t3 monster but I am wanting something a little laggier (hence the T3 setup). Besides just a basic .60/.63 T3 what are other good mild turbo options or ideals for these cars?
I guess something like a smaller size t4 might be ok as it will add enough lag that I would not worry to much about boost at lower rpms but will still get up and go up top when I drive the car.
Thank you for the time to read.
