Gentlemen,
    Hope everyone has been doing well.  I haven't posted on this list in
while been lurking...but looking for some expertise in my next turbo
selection.  Week has been a doozie with having to get new tires and
having 3 bent rims, and only a month ago having to replace my
Centerforce clutch.
 
Currently running 034efi's HO Hybrid K26/TO4E :

Well this turbo I discovered last night has some foreign object damage
which I am not exactly certain how it happened:

Currently my shortened mod list is:
2.2L Pauter Rods, 7A Cam, RS2 Green Top Injectors, Adj. FPR, RS2
Manifold, Stromung Full Exhaust, Cone Air Intake, MRC Custom SW w/ VMAP,
Apikol FMIC, Bosch Motorsport 044 Fuel Pump, Zeitronix Wideband A/F/EGT
Gauge, Silicone Samco Hoses, Hyperboost BPV, South Bend Stage 4
Clutch/Alum. FW
 
Previous Turbos:
-1) Stock
-2) RS2 Hybrid
-3) TO4E Hybrid
-4) TO4E High-Output Hybrid (034)
 
Rules:
     -1) Not certain I want to part with my RS2 manifold.  Could
"upgrade" to 034 RS2 manifold w/ KKK flange and sell my RS2 manifold.
    -2) Don't want to change DP so pretty much leaves me w/ KKK
Hot-Side.
 
 
So I need to look at:
-1) Rebuilding this Turbo who and downtime?
-2) Replacing this Turbo with X?
-3) Rebuilding and selling turbo and replacing with X?
-4) Selling Car
 
Questions:
-1) What are the lists experience with the GT30R or GT35 KKK Hybrid?

(Can get w/ KKK Hotside)

- I don't mind too much lag as long as I have ~20 PSI at 4000+ RPM
-2) Would my injectors be sufficient?  Could always increase my fuel
pressure as currently have the FPR turned all the way down to 62 PSI.
    - Currently at 11.9:1 A/F 3rd Gear WOT.
-3) What plumbing changes do I need?  In particular Intake Hose w/ 4"
Intake on turbo inducer inlet.
 
Thank You
 
Cody
