To the op; my engine build is similar to your, except skunk2 tb,vs855 valve springs, and square top intake. I have the gtx2860 gen2 turbo and am well pleased wth both power and spool. It dynoed at 304 hp and 284 torque. I am surprised at the numbers only because this was e85 flex fuel and .72 ewg at 17psi. Tuner said a better manifold might help. He tends to be conservative. Still, I would not hesitate to recommend the Garrett on both spool and power

Shoot man those are great numbers at 17psi. You still have a lot of room to turn up the boost for sure. Got a picture of the Dyno? I love seeing dyno graphs.

Would anyone with a GTX t2 framed turbo of some sort possibly be interested in letting me borrow it for a bit? I may be getting a Garrett G25-550 soon to try out. I would love to have a GTX of some sort to compare against my 2554/2560/2871's that I already have.

I am hoping to. I have a various amount of t2 and t3 turbos and manifolds on a shelf in my garage. Along with 3 or 4 intake manifolds. One of these days I am hoping to get my car on a dyno with as many combos as I can. Then posting all the back to back results.

If my GTX 2860 wasn't on the car I would do it. That sounds awesome I love that kinda stuff. I wish more people posted on the forum because you can Google that kinda stuff for years. On Facebook really great info gets lost. It's kinda sad
