you suck at searching... welcome to hmt noobie im sure random strike will be chiming in anytime soon ... and either of those turbos is two small..... possibly 2 of the yorker turbos on a tt setup ... i would go with a twin setup but thats just my preference im not a big v8 guy

thanks i have done research but i was just checking to see wat anyoneelse would have in mind i now have another yorker turbo lined up i am hoking this will be alrite for a setup

Re: turbo mustang?
 

two of either of those turbos would work

two chyslers or two td0h5s

they both are on the small side but the chyslers work well

if you want a single id check out one of the bigger diesel turbos

ya like a turbo of what type of truck i may be able to get one of a 7.3 power stroke

For ease and setup, a twin turbo on a V motor is the way to go.

How much power are you looking to achieve from the completed setup? When you get this question answered, then you can start shopping for turbo(s) that will be well suited for your setup. If you're looking for about 450-575hp, then 2 of the Chrysler turbos will work well. They are about maxed out at 410 cfm and that equates to roughly 250-275hp depending on the motor. The only thing is that these turbos have the .48 A/R turbine housing. And this will choke out your upper rpm power. The best turbos for a twin setup would be a pair of Ford 2.3L Manual turbos. 60 trim compressor and a turbine housing of .63 A/R. Each rated to over 300hp per turbo and the turbine won't choke out your exhaust and limit upper rpm power.

If you want to go with a single turbo, then a 7.3L turbo would be right about what you're looking for if you want about 600-675hp.


Good luck and keep us posted with your project,

I'm running a pair of RHB5s from T-bird turbo coupes (1987-1988). I'm making just about 400 hp and 500 ft-lb at the wheels.
