following my previous thread, I've decided to go down the turbo route. After looking at the kits, I think I'd rather put together my own setup.
I'd only like around 280bhp but with the potential for more, so I've been looking into turbos that would give me the option.
I'm planning to use the stock b16b head with a forged 16a bottom end.
After reading around, I think its worth paying the extra for a Garrett turbo and have narrowed it down to the two in the title.
Has anyone had any experience with either of these?
I believe the 71r has an internal wastegate - I'm not really sure what the pros/cons are but what would people recommend?
I know they're popular on 2l engines - would they be too 'big' for a 1.6? Is lag an issue, especially with the 76r?
If not these two, what other similar options are there?
