If not, can anyone direct me to the best Garrett turbo to buy? Links would be appreciated!!!

That thing is too big for standard 2.5 imo.

You should get a feel on turbo sizing on this page. Turbonetic turbos you are looking at are not direct bolt-on. Turbonetics made some exhaust housings compatible with 951, but those are scarce and hard to get by.

Alright. Well those links, how do you order from them? haha. Maybe ill go check ebay for "broadfoot"

Dont know if BF is still in business, but I think he did a good explanation on turbos best suited to 951.

I went with the Garret GT35R, ceramic ball bearing, oil and water cooled. Had to just save some extra money first.

Gt35 will have a good amount of lag on a stock 2.5l engine so as long as your driving is mainly highway it should still be enjoyable. Usually a Gt3076 is good for street/highway, has some lag but very manageable. What are your power goals?

Supporting mods?
Not going to be able to just throw a bigger turbo on and have great results.
At a MINIMUM you'll need a chip to match it.

Likely you'll want
3 bar Fuel regulator
maf setup (m-tune is working awesome for me)
3" exhaust
Injectors.
Wastegate.


I called Dave Lindsey at Lindsey Racing and told him my mods, and what I wanted to do. He sold me a bolt on hybrid turbo that works friggin awesome for what I want. Yes the LR turbos are a bit old school, but I'm absolutely floored by how well mine boosts compared to my expectations.

Broadfoot is still in business, but I find him overly arrogant, and I'm not going to use my dollars to support someone who behaves that way.

Oh yeah I will be modded. Just had my block bored out to 101mm, all new bottom end with knife edged crank, carrillo rods, wossner pistons, glyco bearings. Already had a autothority stage 2 chip, but now I have the DBX maf kit to tune. Got those 52lb injectors, Tomei FPR, Bosch 044 fuel pump, new lines from LR. Got new valves , guides and springs for the head, and just got that back from the shop, its cleaned and polished. All new gaskets, belts, bearings, seals and silicone hoses. Exhaust will have a turbonetics deltagate, and 3" with borla "racing cat" and borla muffler (large style). Rewelded my exhaust manifold, and wrapped in heatsink. All new misc clutch cylinders/brake cyl/ alternator/AC/ steering pump/ starter. Also got one of those Fidenza flywheels (7lb). Just upgraded the brake rotors to zinc, and rebuilt the calipers. Someone suggested i need an LSD, so I have a Quaiffe helical LsD for the tranny rebuild soon. I think I covered most of what I will need to handle this new turbo. My upgrade thread will show these being installed soon.

No idea about my power goal. I just want faster than stock, and driveable.
