I am looking at some different set-ups for my car just wondering if anyone has any ideas opinions on the best streetable Turbo.. I want next to 0 Turbo Lag ..I am getting a precision front Mount intercooler and i am still up in the air on a turbo and down-pipe.. I have a 210 roller cam ported heads with Ls1 springs and a 3500 stall.. i am not interested in running 9's looking to run low to mid 10's and have the car very streetable.. thanks for your input.:biggrin:

I would recommend the TE-45A turbo.. great turbo perfect for what you want.. very streetable.

Or the Gt67 is very nice as well.. I think Full throttle has them in ball bearing for like $1300?

The 45a will support about 800+ and the 67 will be close to same.

If you get a ball bearing turbo.. it will be oil and water cooled.

I don't know if Limit makes the 45a in a bb unit.

Really don't need ball bearing if the stall is right..

You can get the 45A in a watercooled center section. Board member 8AV8 bought one I used to have.... and it had the water cooled center section.
 
I run a TE-44 water cooled turbo with a 2800 stall, instant spool, burns the back tires off in 1st and 2nd.. Those little babies are mean!
 
Talk to Mike at Full Throttle...I'm getting ready to install a 9/11 3400-3600 stall and he recomended the GT6776e standard journal. If you go with the BB version your converter will be a little loose...he said the BB version realy likes a 3200 stall. With a 3400+ you will have plenty of converter to spool the GT6776 standard bearing and save you about $400+. Also if you are running a upgraded IC go with the 4" inlet 2 1/2" outlet (GT6776s) option over the 3"/2".

Just something to concider...
