    Should I go 13T's or billet DR650's?

    I have been back and forth on this and I settled on 13T's but now Im having second thoughts. The basics are that I will only be running the car on pump gas, on top what the mods I already have, I will be getting:

    MAFT and 3.5in GM MAF
    M2 Catback
    SAFCII with boomslang
    Forgot: I have 450cc Blacktop's but I will probably get 550s
    Possibly AFPR
    and later down the road FMIC/SMIC's

    I know I am limited to around 400awhp with 13T's and around 450awhp with the 650's.
    I can get 13T's for ~$800 new or the 650's for $2200.
    My thoughts now are that I could do a lot with the extra $1400 I would save.

    What do guys think I should do?

    13T's $800
    DR650's $2200
    TD05 kit $2750

    if you can afford to pay an extra $1400 for the DR's than you might as well go tdo5.

    Some of us don't like lag :P

    I'm not sure where you got you HP numbers, but they don't seem right to me. I'll have to look around and see if I can find some dynos.

    Ray made 519 AWHP and 565 AWTQ on DR650s http://www.3si.org/forum/f1/1st-test...illets-509888/

    I think he meant the limitations were from the pump gas, not the turbo's limitations

    Edit: I went 13T's a couple years back because of the cost.. I still have stock injectors but upgrading to some better turbos is always crossing my mind.. Billet is the way to go imo

    Yeah, I am avoiding TD05's because they are a bit laggy for me.

    B-man - Do you happen to have the chart for Mustgofaster or the mod list?

    dang 800 for a set of 13ts aint bad. but i still would say go 650 just because we all know what those are cabable of. not saying the 13ts arent good though.

    I would get the 13T's....they seem to fit your bill for a mildly modded car.

    Link to 13t's for 800? I was under the impression they were little bit more than that.

    With 450/550cc injectors, you made the right choice. I doubt I'd ever be able to pull the trigger on $2000+ TD04's either.
