The Pte5857 is the perfect sized precision turbo for these cars in my opinion. If your not looking for anything more than 450whp the 5557 works great as well. There is a very small difference in spool time between the 2 since I believe the inducer is the main difference being a few mm smaller on the 5557. My friend has the 5557 on his LNF

How about the difficulty of parts to install. I figured I'd post here because I knew people here had them. And I was looking for something more along the lines of supporting about 550 hp to be safe.

if you are looking for 550 AND to be safe. thats gonna take a pretty penny. I would suggest building the engine. And you def need cams with fuel lobe and a built head (PnP wouldnt hurt either). and i would say ethanol or at least meth would be a must

I was planning on getting a turbo that I knew would support it and go from there. I was gonna go to 450 and stay there to see how the car reacts and does at that level before moving up and building the motor. I wil order cams but because louisiana hates e85 James and I have decided a different route. I'd rather have a bigger turbo and not need it than get one I'll Max out and need bigger later. You can always cut boost back can't make it produce more than it is able to.

touche. if you are linking up with James then he will set you up on the right path.

they are the exact same parts minus the downpipe and a few couplers lol

then of course the manifold
