The T3/T4 is a very popular turbo setup for honda's, Probably the most common Turbo Installed on a Honda. Good numbers can be made easily on it. Even though I am not a booster I looked into turboing my z6 alot before Deciding to go with Nitrous/All Motor Instead.

Choosing your Turbo is a big step, Before you do you need to think about what type of power your going to want to put up. What engine your going to run, what type Driving, Drag where you want high end hp, or Auto-X where you want more of a wide range of power.

I want to be able to reach high speeds quickly. Horsepower amount, well as much as I can get out of my motor. Like I said Im new to this whole boost thing.

also is your motor stock or are you going to beef it up? ARP head studs at the minimum :wink:

Nothing important in terms of block strength then.

As teal said, definitely ARP head studs minimum
