so i have an '88 all trac with a '92 mr2 swap with the second gen twin entry ct26, nothing fancy. the bearings went to poop bcs of a crap BOV, and well i've always wanted more. nothing crazy, but my stock ct26 with a godspeed header setup, 3in DP to 2.75 full stainless exhaust, 2.5" intercooler hoses and an HKS front mount intercooler, its like 4x8x36 or something like that, came with the car and never measured it but you get the idea. but stock turbo i could reach 20psi at around 3.5k but quickly dropped and cant hold anything more than 13psi up near red line. i've researched it enough to understand that a ct26 is only capable of that.
my question is simple, i just want a factory bolt in replacement that can make 25psi but hold at, at least 20psi. i want to retain my current downpipe and headers and not add that many supporting mods such as pistons and rods and that crap, money is limited. i already have bigger injectors and fuel pump.
i was thinking about using my core (after i rebuild it first) and using either a 16-20g, supra, or gt35 compressor swap. only bad thing is i cant seem to find details on how these compressor swaps work with the ct26 exhaust turbine and lag times, i would like something that spools about as fast as mine so i dont have to retune it (currently tuned for 25psi, how that is, idk, thats what the previous owner said anyways) . i know that the twin entry is a little restrictive due to its purpose being a faster spooling ct26. ive already ruled out the ct20b (or ct26c2), whatever you call it, due to this fact. i really need help with this so i can get my car back on the road, if no one helps, my car will sit for eternity as i ponder what to do haha, well thanks guys!
**i hope most of my info is right, i got it all from different forums, its what happens when i get a free day in school on the computer, i'd much rather look up this stuff vs play games
