Selecting
the best turbo for your application is a matter of choosing the right
turbo for your intended power level and your intended application.
While too much horsepower can easily push a turbo beyond its efficiency
range, it is also important to consider your intended usage. Are you
willing to sacrifice some EGT reduction for better spooling? Are you
willing to give
up some bottom end for overall peak performance or sacrifice a little
top end performance to maintain some bottom end spooling and towing
performance? Can you afford the cost of twins to get both? There are
tradeoffs associated with each turbo and exhaust housing combination.
Choosing the right turbo and exhaust housing combination requires
careful research and planning.
Selecting
the best turbo for your application is only one part of managing
EGT's. Effectively managing EGT's requires considering other components
such as air intake and exhaust systems as well as camshafts and
ported heads. In many cases just adding a larger turbo will not
eliminate EGT problems. In most cases a larger turbo will lower
peak EGT's and/or increase the length of time it takes to reach
peak EGT's.
