Need new turbo... Recommendations please.

[FLG]

Ok little background.

Have a 2.7i turbo I picked up awhile back. Everything great running ms and dyno tuned to about 320whp

Well the ebay turbo is beginning to buy the farm so I need to replace it. Problem is I have no idea on specs and the guy I got the build from don't know either.

So can someone recommend me an internally waste gated turbo to replace this one. Want It to be capable of about 350-400whp and want a direct replacement. Take this one off and put the new one on. Current one is t3/t4 internal waste gate to a 3" v-band down pipe.

I really have no idea what specs mean what when it comes to finding a replacement so I need some assistance.

Thanks

Also this one was just oil cooled. I assume the replacement would be oil/water. If so can I just use the hoses that would normally go to the throttle body to cool the turbo?

Of course, I just bought an H1C for my project. Just like the HX35, but I got a very nice deal on the H1C so I just went with that.

8 blade or 7? Or does it matter?

I'm assuming the 98-02 7 blade models...

would 8 blade not be better?

[Cronopoulos]

7 blade > 8 blade

[FLG]

7 blade > 8 blade

That's what I thought.

Thanks again for the help. Glad I didn't need to go over to e30tech lol

I agree with Holset, Been beating my hx35 with 150k miles and its holding strong.

Also, they are pretty cheap...

Think i did OK in terms of price?

I realize its the smaller comressor size, but from my reading it should flow just fine for my 350-400hp goals.
