    I've been looking at holset and other diesel turbos for my build. mostly because the hotsides are big, and they are CHEAP. lots of power for very little money

    they have holset turbos much better suited for our displacement as well.

    problem with the variable vane turbos with gasoline engines is the EGTs. I wouldn't run one with it. it took porsche a long time to bring the technology to gas engines
