turbo recommendation?

[gtikid]

what are you looking as far as HP, powerband, driving wise? 15psi can be ran on any turbo.

if you just want a fast spooling turbo, anything small.

psi gets thrown around a lot now. Psi doesn't mean really mean anything unless you put a turbo before it

I think a 60-1 is a little bit too much turbo for him especially if he's only looking for 280-300 whp

And it could be...it really depends on his driving style and what he plans on doing with the car.
The 60-1 is on the big side, but the K has no problem spooling it. It is a little laggy, which has it's pros and cons (more pros than cons IMO).
The turbo is sellection is like injector selection...it's better to have a little more than you need. Just how long ill you be happy with 280-300whp before it starts to feel slow??
GT28 and 35s would do great, they are also up there in $$ quit a bit. He could possibly be happy with a T3/T4 57 trim w/ a .63AR...or a T3/T4 60 trim, both would spool fairly easy and have the potential of making his power goals + some.

Very very true But then he's gonna have to worry about building the motor and that's when most people just say fuck it haha....
