Re: best turbo?

ya seriously, use your search button.

Go to our vendors and look around. Get a stageII from Mike Lee at RPM and be done with it. It's more turbo that you need right now, but won't be shitty on the street until you grow into it.

20g with 14cm housing and 2800 stall 9/11 all the way. Has to be one of the best combos for a mild truck ever.

Re: best turbo?

Do you want to change the torque converter, or stay with the stock one?

You will not like a 20G turbo w/a stock torque converter. Too much lag.
Your heavy foot will be needed to get a 14 CM housing to spool that turbo quickly.

Re: best turbo?

The problem with chosing turbos is that, their isn't much Data showing which turbo is best for your build. Not many people post up statistics showing that a Turbo helped them make more power. Example " I bought a 67mm turbo and with a custom tune, I lost 1 second on my 1/4 mile time"

Before I would spend close to a $1k, I would want to see what a Turbo will do for me in the 1/4 mile with a proper tune. I want to upgrade my stocker soon, and when the time comes, I will be posting a thread to see what would be my best option for my build and goals.

I thought it was a 12cm exhaust housing ? I been looking for years and I'm still looking.

I have a TD06 10cm housing I put on my stock turbo when my cat clogged up and I removed it. I think a TD06H 10cm, TD06 12cm, and TD06H 12cm all exist, but I'm not 100% sure.

I emailed Hahn, they have a non H, internal gate, TD06, 12cm housing for just $399. lol

I do not think the Mitsubishi 12 CM turbine housing ever were made that will fit an "H" wheel.

They (12 CM housing) are made to fit a stock sized Sy/Ty turbine wheel.

So if any of you guys want a 12 CM turbine housing for your stock turbo, it will bolt right on.

I had to machine the one I got to fit an "H" wheel.

They are pricey, see if Hahn will sell it for any less, because that's the one you would need & it does not hurt to ask.

I had to also open up the entry on the turbine housing to match the Stock Sy manifold, it was really small.
