Turbo size to reach 250-275...

Any input on what size turbo to reach 250-275 whp? Will a T28 do or should I step to a T3 or T3/T4? Is that goal a little too high for a semi-streetable ride? I'm still wadin my feet in the world of turbochargin so any help would be great...thanks...

well, if you wanna reach that high, u are gonna have to do a bottom end build-up to do it safely.

For the turbo, i suggest a T3/T4

Ive been gathering some info on t28 turbos and from what i've read a Garrett GT28R turbo will get you in the 300whp range. thats the set up im going with.

I've seen little t25's do it on the older SOHCs, though with built motors and some mild headwork, so that's probably doable on a 7thgen with the right build as well.
