what would be the best turbo for a single remote mount turbo. im fabbing up my own kit and i need to know what size turbo, a/r ect everything. if anyone has a link to a turbo that would work i wold appreciate it. i have a 2002 automatic ss, it has longtubes and high flow cats, made 345 hp at the wheels on the dyno. Im looking for littlest lag and to make 600 rear wheel max. thanks

go to the sts turbo website. ststurbo.c o m (with no spaces in the 'com') - they seem to be the most popular with these remote-mount turbos. the smallest size they offer is a 60mm - i wouldnt go any smaller than that because LS1s have a lot of displacement so even 60mm turbos have full spool by like 3000rpm or so. a 60mm turbo isnt even considered large for the supra community. call up sts, they have all different sized garretts depending on your power levels.

i wasnt telling you to buy their kit. i was telling you to go to their website to see what size turbos you can choose from since youre designing a kit very similar to theirs; i figured youd wanna know what theyre using.
as i said before, garrett is a popular brand of turbo, and i wouldnt reccommend anything smaller than a 60mm since we're talking V8s here. a/r and everything else is up to you.
