i wanna get the ball rolling with boostin my 99 ex, which turbo should i get???

 

Dependes on your budget, power goals and your use for the car. You could go with anything from a quick spooling small t-25 to maybe a big 60 trim t3/t4. On your car I would probably go with a 14b or a smaller t-3. Just my 2 cents.

 

well my goal right now is around 200-250 whp, but i want to go higher later on when i can beef up the internals

 

Your definately going to want to go with something from the t3/t4 family. You'll still be able to spool it alright for the time being but when you beef up the internals and are ready to run a little more boost You'll be glad you've got a bigger turbo. What kind of budget are you working with?

 

2000 right now and growin, most of my paycheck goes to savings. how much am i going to need?

 

Sounds like your planning a DIY setup instead of a kit so you'll be saving money there. I would say plan on at least $1200+ just for the turbo setup and if you plan to install it yourself you'll be saving more money. Make sure not to skimp on fuel management. The best way to go is a chipped ecu which will need to be tuned for around $400 or so which might be the most important part of the whole process. I think you'll easily have enough for now and as long as you keep saving you'll be able to build your motor up to hold some pretty good boost in the future. Hope this helps.

 

I myself am running a D16 and going with the T25 Garret quick spool, T3 will be nice though if you're running a big str8 ling car like you're racing all your chumps from like 30/45 roll but i plan to auto cross my car so i went iwth a quick spool to pull me out of small turns.
