upgrading my turbo
Happy new year everyone,
Im looking at upgrading my turbo and would like some advice on a good bolt on kit.
What turbo would you suggest if you were after a fast road / track car keeping spool times as low as possible?
I’m not looking at chasing big bhp numbers and will be running on standard internals for the time being.
I have been offered a Precision 5130 or 4831, but im not too sure on how these turbos differ.

Re: upgrading my turbo
hmltnangel over on imoc is selling a GT2860 kit. This is quite a good compromise for a quick spooling turbo as you're not chasing big bhp numbers. They are good for just over 300hp, wouldn't push it much harder if you are staying on stock internals
