So I'm looking at new turbos and I'm thinking of three different ones. Which route do you think I should take with the following goals:
-daily driver friendly response and meaty powerband.
-autocross-able, but willing to trade the sick spool of my stg. 2 for a little more lag.
-safe on the stock block for many, many miles and HPDE work if needed. (I know the tune is the biggie here, but I also know an FP Red is too much for the stock pistons).
Here are the 3 turbos I'm looking at and why:
-Blouch TD06 20g 8cm: I've long heard that this turbo is the perfect match for the 2.5l for a daily driver and its a decent enough upgrade to be felt all around. It's also safe on stock internals and wouldn't require a lot of changes to my current setup.
-Blouch Dominator 3.0R: Giving up some turbo response on the street, but ball bearing design and 400whp+ capable wheel makes up for it. Stock mount location means I don't need to change much in my current setup.
-Perrin GT3076 rotated mount kit w/ Perrin FMIC: I drool over a rotated GT30R kit and this one seems to be doing pretty well now that the version 2 is out with fitment issues corrected. Not sure what advantage the rotated mount would have over the Dom 3.0R?
What do you guys think? If I went with the 20g, I'd stick with my TMIC. No meth, I don't want to deal with it. If I went Dom 3.0R or rotated, I'd go with the Perrin FMIC. I'm thinking 740 Deatschwerks for the 20g, and 850cc PEs for the big wheels. I'd like to run my GT SPEC header and up-pipe, but I know with the rotated mount or a EWG, this isn't possible really without custom work. I'd probably switch over to the Perrin header for the Perrin kit...
Thanks in advance...I want to do this right, once.
