    Talking Upgrading My Turbo Again what to get?

    I have Turbonetics T3/T04E Stage III .50 A/r Compressor .63 Exhaust

    I'm thinking of stepping up to an .82 Exhaust but I'm concerned with spool up
    Pre-spooling this would be difficult due to the fact I have a stock bottom end.
    Plus that is a huge exhaust for a non-built engine,
    A hybrid is in the works for my car so I'm seeing what people think
    I'm thinking of swapping to a C4Tranny out of a Pinto since they have a 2piece bell-housing that'll bolt to my tranny. The stock convertor should work fine. Plus the driveshaft is the same length. As an auto I can prespool and rocket out of the hole under full boost. As long as I have slicks no problem. The problem with my 5-Speed is no way to pre-boost without almost burning my clutch. It's not made to slip since it's a 6-Puck Spec 3.

    I hope that makes sense to you guys. I'm a self-proclaimed "MECHANIC" if you know what I mean. Duck Tape, ZIP TIES, and a hammer!

    Here's all I've had turbo wise since stock
    IHI RHB5IT-21 (STOCK)
    T3 Off Older Turbo Bird .60 Compressor .63 Exhaust
    Turbonetics T3/T04B Stage 1 Hybrid .50 Compressor .63 Standard Exhaust
    T3/T04E Stage III .50 A/r Compressor .63 Exhaust

    As you can see I'm trying to mate up the best turbo I can for the mods currently on my car.

    I know switching turbos all the time isn't cost effective but I'd rather have the right part at the right time!

    Thanks!
