88mm turbo, untuned at 22psi

no but really, the gt2860rs is a great turbo, you can sometimes find them in the classifieds for a good deal, you could also get a gt30, many people here are running them, garrett 50trim, turbonetics super 60's etc.

what else are you putting in conjuction? what are your goals? intercooled? non intercooled?

check out www.zzperformance.com, they make 3 stages of turbo kits for the 2.4 including everything you need

you dont want to turbo your car if you have no idea what your doing.... research.... alot. find some of the build threads, etc. and keep reading.

Maybe a better choice would be a COMPLETE turbo kit from Hahn, which we can get for you at a discounted price.

This, not to be a dick but if you need to ask what turbo you need you have done little to no research.

Another option for you is a turbo kit from ZZP, you can by ours cheaper than the hahn kit without a discount. Better tunning, more power, cheaper price need I say more.
