lost to a ford focus last night :(
wasn't quite so sad when i find out it was a 2.5l turbo and only one in the country, but still clearly i need more power. Should i take my ct26 and get a t4 compressor wheel and steel shaft added to it or just grab a stock ct20b and bolt that on??

CT20B and aussie downpipe.

Proven 12 second combination.

Stock CT20b is good turbo but it lacks in the wastegate design. It does not work very well on no-muffler 3" system ;).

You can cut mid-low 13s @ 105mph on a stock ct26 with around 15psi and a downpipe. I wouldn't wanna push it anymore though :lol:

With the ct20b you don't have to rape the car so much to get the same times :lol: but if you do and run 18psi or so you will run 12s with 110mph traps.

Oh yeah use 100 octane gas too :P

CT20b unless you've got one of those awesome 450+hp CT26's that really honestly do exist, even though theres no dyno graphs to back that up.

i'm sure i put poll on in first post but never mind it's there now, ct20b with external wastegate headers and down pipeit is then!

You don't need the external, unless you like the noise.

well it is a nice noise. and doing it now saves doing it later. but will see what budget allows

It does get old pretty quick though. Doing it now wont really save much later on, as if you plan on going bigger turbo you'll more than likely need to use a different manifold, or at least an adaptor which will require a different placement.
