Default LS Turbo

Need some advice on what would be the best inexpensive turbo to use for a Ls Turbo. I would be happy with 250+hp. I was thinkin some Ls Cams, skunk2 cam gears, and some 550rc to start and keep the rest stock for now. Oh for tunnin what would be a good inexpensive program. If you guys have a better set up or anything else that might help just hit me up.

Yeah definitly go with crome for the cost. Just make sure you use good parts on your turbo set up otherwise you could run into reliability issues.

Stock LS motor with a old school Skunk2 intakemanifold on a T3/To4 b-trim ball bearing Turbonectics turbo on 10 pounds made 278whp and torque upwards of 210?

The motor is stock minus the turbo kit and manifold(it's using a drag gen 3 manifold and 2.5 inch downpipe), and has been sprayed on and beat on for 2 years now. Its daily driven.


If you went cams, I'd get 402 Crowers, Intakemanifold(Skunk2), Hondata gasket, get someone to gasketmatch everything and boost it with a good turbo(no ebay stuff).

LS Turbo.......mhmmm. If you dont go Chrome, use greddy E-Manage for tuning. Its reliable and inexpensive as well. I have had three turbo'd cars tuned with E-Manage and havent run into any problems with it yet. For a turbo, you should def get a t3/t4 with around 50 or 57 trim. I just got my Integra back this weekend from getting all the work done and getting tuned on emanage and Im impressed even running low, low boost. Hope you the best on your project.
