Yea part of me doesn't want to go too big like a pt6262 when I get another kit because of lag(which highway rolls/brake boosting ect should leviate to an extent), limited powerband 5-7.4krpms(biggest faster), and fueling limitations, traction, list goes on haha. But part of me says screw it lol But the reasonable side of me, wants to go with a turbo that can hit 20s(psi) by 4krpms but hit atleast in the 600s(whp) in the 30-35(psi) range, and this turbo looks like it can do that, atleast I think I could on e85, 4.45, stage 2 cams, ect

 

The decision struggle is real If you go 6262 get the .63 in DBB, and you won't be disappointed. Very capable turbo and shouldn't spool too much slower. Will be more than enough to reach your goals. The 259et will make a bit over 600, but you'll just need a little more boost, and won't be capable of as much as the 6262. Ryan (scythe) has a 259et on his car and made a touch over 600whp on 35 lbs on his LNF. I spend most of my time in the 24-28 lb range, so for the few times I'll have it on 30+ it doesn't make sense for me to go bigger given my goals.

 

Has anyone ever built a hybrid pt6262 with a smaller/custom a/r housing?

 

I haven't seen anyone drop the 5858 or 6262 to anything smaller than the .63. I know you can get the 5558 in a .48, but that's a decent amount smaller.

 

I forget the forum but I saw someone go to a .58 on a 6262, but I think that was a t4 also.

 

That's interesting. The .63 6262 DBB would probably be your best bet though. Will still spool pretty nicely, and very easy to find.
