Turbo Sizing options
Right now i looking at a few turbos out there just need some comments. Im look at a Garrett GT35r, or Precision 6262, mainly looking for a quick response with not a whole lot of lag, and some that can push me up to 500hp, and for those who has the engine will be fully modified when it is complete.
I zoom therefore I am.

Its going to be VERY difficult to get anywhere near 500hp with a turbo that spools up early and doesnt lag. Remember you are starting with an engine that only puts out 175rwhp in stock trim. You can have really good usable power or you can have a slow spooling beast with a high peak number. Most try to find somewhere in between.

well i heard that 450hp is reachable somewhat but maybe its just me im already married to this current project build and rotarys are dam expensive. i guess im paying the price to try to play with the bigger boys. but honestly i know 500hp sounds a bit much but when everyone started 280hp was everthing for some people. i just things take time it some will get there.

With that amount of power, reachable or not with your turbo options, you will have some other problems to overcome.
Mechanical ones may include your transmission and your differential. The transmission because it will probably blow, the differential because putting even 400hp to the ground in a corner requires some effort.
General ones will be you and your driving. Keeping a car that was meant to be 200whp on the road with that amount of power requires skills. A lot of time and money will need to be spent on this subject.
If all you want is a 450hp dyno queen then scratch my post and have fun with your toy.
