What turbo to run on a 274" Stage 2?

Looking for recommendations on what turbo to run on a 274" Stage 2 motor, has TA heads, ported TA intake, 230-230 645 lift solid roller, and FAST XFI. Will be driven on the street also. Thanks!

How fast do you want to go?
A GT42 with the 74 or 76MM wheel would be nice.
You could also try a GT45.
Talk to Otto, I think he has a Borg Warner 80MM for sale.
I have heard some good stuff about the extended tip wheels.

Getting into the 8's would be great, but low 9's for sure.

I would do the t6 if you can, if not the t4 will get you there.

The 42-76 is capable of hitting the 8's if your car isn't too heavy. If you go BB it wil spool instantly. Even the non-BB units spool well with the correct A/R ratios. It's a great street/strip turbo for a stage 2 engine

Mine was around $950.00, non BB unit, but they have went up above $1k last I knew.

Great turbo.

Ted,

How much converter did you need?
I am trying to figure if the BB is worth the extra cost on this application.

Precision Retail is $2738.99 for the BB.
There is no way that people are selling them for that high.
I found the 74MM version going for $2328.97 here:

Ball Bearing Garrett GT4294R/GT4202R (aka GT42R / GT42RS): atpturbo.com

The non BBs are going for around $1500

This really might be worth looking into
