Disco Potato or T3 Super 60?
I am trying to decide which direction to go with my new setup on the 1.8 and this is where I am at.
Option 1
Begi Manifold - $389
Begi Downpipe - $325
GT2860RS w/ internal gate - $1175
Total - $1889
Option 2
Begi Manifold for external gate - $489
Begi Downpipe - $325
T3 Super 60 - $625
Tial 38mm Wastegate - $229
Total - $1668
I know I can get better pricing though WOT, but this is just for comparisons sake. What power can I expect from either of these at 15 psi and when would I see max boost? Any pros or cons on the 2 setups?

that would require a turbo with a wastegate built into the turbine housing. I don't believe any T3s have that option. So you need to buy a swing to bolt itself to the turbine housing....I don't think i've seen one with the option for divorced....only one exit.

BEGI Manifold, Downpipe, Tial 38mm, Ghettocharger
$1243
FTMFW 300 RWHP @ 15 PSI tuned, Max Boost ~5,000 RPM (4,300 in top gear) or add a 50 HP shot of N2O and spool that bitch at 3k with the $400 you saved.

I'd do an EWG and a 2871R, but it really depends on what you're looking for. I don't like the potato in general since it feels like a middle step that doesn't really need to be taken. You can hit 250whp if you push a GT2560R, and it will spool faster than either a T3S60 or a potato, and if you want more power, you're going to have some lag anyway so IMO it's worth it to sacrifice that little extra bit to get the added flow of the big hotside on the 2871.
