Message	Hey guys, I usually frequent 3zc more that TT.net, but I need a new viewpoint on this issue. I am currently in the midst of a full rebuild. Stock rods and crank, but 0.020" (.5mm) overbore wiseco forged pistons. Stock heads. Also have single pop intake and turbo back exhaust, 555cc's on stock 91' rail and an ECU. anyway I am having trouble picking out a turbo to go with, and everyone on 3zc seems all too ready to hand gobs of cash over to Z1. I figured I would easily be able to get a different viewpoint from here. So my power goals are 450-500+ hp without straining any components too much. I don't mind having turbos that are above the fuel capabilities since I will eventually upgrade them again. I am looking at the gt28rs kit from Z1(gt675) since its currently on a group buy price on 3zc, but it seems like alot of cash for turbos I'm not certain I will utilize. Basically I'm asking for some suggestions on turbos that are capable of at least 450whp-500whp or more. I would also like a decently low RPM spool over a real high rev spool. thanks for any input guys -Rich
