I'd still stay with a .82. Tial housing.

Id go .82, but also a GT3582 would be my choice, not the GT30. I have a mate running a 1.6 on a GT30 and a .63 A/R, made 533WHP.

IMO if you're choosing the gt30 series turbo, id still go GTX compressor blade. we all know the 16v engine can flow a lot of air though it with out as much pressure. At 20 psi the car would probably draw over 500lb/min of air which is near peak of the GT blade.

Another good choice would be the HKS T04Z with a .81 AR.

pretty over priced for something that's 90% garrett.

Its not a cheap option, but that turbo and the T51's perform very well.

I'd still like to see someone use one of the new Borg Warner turbos.

Or Holset, they are making some pretty decent big turbos these days.

you'll need a very custom intake for that thing!

Yep, the turbo is mine, test-fitting when we were installing Sid's new motor.
