give us an idea of what your looking for in your car.. performance, track use, fast road use... sprinting, top end grunt....
each turbo youve mentioned are all differnt sizes obviously the GT28R being alot bigger then the other too thus giving alot more lag but alot more power at the end of it.....

just looking for fast road use, 0-60 time isnt really important more interested in over taking power. that give you a better idea.

some good pull through the rev range.....
i would go for the TD04 to be honest...
quick sprinting with minimal lag would be a CT9, hybrid it even better, depending on spec of hybrid can get a good 210-220hp.....
the TD04 will give you the overall grunt, mid range power with a bit of lag but has been proven as a cheap and very good performing turbo for the starlet.....
thats my opinion.. everyone has different ones but im sure i have alot of guys to back me up....

Haven't had it on the rollers yet but I'd estimate 180-190bhp.

I'm sure I hit 1bar by 4k on my hybrid. It starts spooling almost straight away and pulls all the way thru to the red line.
is that the best choice with a 5e too? was planning on swapping the same ti,e when i can finally decide on a turbo

if u research the tdo4...u will realise that the range usually is 2000 rpm for spool........and 4000rpm for full boost......now u will also realise that some people get it to start spoling (+-1500rpm) earlier and full boost also earlier (+-3500rpm)......u can tune your car with a proper piggy back or standalone........thats why ignition control is so important and not just fuel control
and then there are other ways to get a little earlier spool---shorter piping, proper flowing/cooling intercooler, proper built manifold (maybe shorter runners) and downpipes, etc....
to get a good responsive tdo4l set up aint that hard....
the total car must be built properly----engine, turbo, exhaust and management should compliment each other
and i will get way more out of a td04 than a hybrid, i was just concern about the hills... i was soon going to purchase another car... and was planning on working on my gt around that time

4K thats very late on a hybrid, I have 1.2 bar by 2800rpm, has it always been the same?

hmmm, maybe I'm wrong then. To be fair I've only just had everything set up so I've spent more time planting it and laughing than keeping an eye on the rev counter!
