Help with size of turbo!!!

[jhanson1750]

I am in the market for a new turbo and need some advice. What size should go with. My stocker is smoking and I am ready to step up to a newer design. I will be getting a 3" DP and 60lb injectors in the next month or so. The rest of my mods are in my sig. Also I like to support our vendors so who has had good dealings with what vendors would help as well. Oh and my current end result I am looking for is @ 12.0 but don't want to have to upgrade the turbo later. Thanks Jon Hanson

Buddy of mine here has that GT3255e from precision, first time to the track with that turbo, 60lb injectors, and drag radials with the stock torque convertor. Went 11.59 at 119mph. 25psi of boost.

I do think its a great turbo and since your looking to get the 60s now, along with the alky kit you already have, and only looking for low 12s, that GT3255e
is the best one for the stock convertor.

The best part about this turbo is you dont have to upgrade the convertor to get it to spool quick. Yes you could go with a much larger turbo, but will suffer from turbo lag if you like to race on the streets.

Thanks, I just spoke with JD and he said the same thing. I just want to have all the information that I can so I am not disappointed with my purchase. Thanks again Jon Hanson buy the way where did he purchase his turbo?

His brother owns a custom fab shop and is a distributor for Precision Turbo, Precision Turbo is where he purchased it from.

Home of the Fastest Street Cars in Kansas City and they are a paying vendor of this site:smile:

Here is the link to when we had it at the track
