best turbo and highest HP from a pro?

what is the best turbo to go with and what is the highest amount of hp/torque that anyone has reported for a 2.0 engine. ive heard that essential speed had a 2.0 pushin 380-390 at the crank, which is like 330 at the wheels - does anyone know anywhere else that might be worth checking into, im looking for a turbo for spring
any help would be appreciated

Hiboost Kit is the best...for the $$$ and offers the best Fuel management at that price....IHI turbo, Haltech, FMIC, No welding or cutting of stock exhaust system.

anything over approx 250 WHP you will need to look at doing internals.....330 WHP??....new clutch....beefier axles..... I know the guys at essiential speed..and I have never heard of a number that high...


www.hiboost.com
www.spool-turbo.com
www.essentialspeed.com
www.flyinprotege.com

I am not sure if its still on this board...but i did a break down of each kit and gave my comparisions....maybe do a search

Just talk to the companies and see what they say. I know essential speed is constantly working on there project car to get the most HP out of it but keep drivabilty up.

How do you figure?

You can't compare the dyno numbers as every dyno reads different.

And have you seen anyone else make those numbers on 6psi??
