New here so firstly, hello everyone :)

Right then after reading many forum topics on what turbo to use on what project i have been left scratching my head about what to use on my project.

Later on this year i am going to be starting a build for a 1293 fast road turbo engine. Im hoping for around 120-150+ BHP so any ideas what turbo i should be using.

Oh im also look at the GTs on a further note

Thanks all :)

I too am in the same boat as you Gaball.

I though am undecided between the GT1752 or the GT2056 I'm looking for 150bhp-180bhp+ though on a 1380.

Any advice Jimbo?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Planing a 1293 with dished pistons, avonbar phase 2 cam, R5 carb, 1.5 rockers, straight cut box, and a few other bits and bobs. But on a grand and a half budget so this could become interesting.

there are people that know more about turbo's than me on here, going by others expeirance the 1752 seems to be ideal for 180 - 200 bhp

if you only want 150, than a GT15 would give briiliant low down power.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

what car would i be able to find this on i looked on sites but only one i have found its the GT1549 on fords and other bits

the GT1752 is on alot of other things would would be the disadvantage of using this instead of the GT15
