Default GTRS Turbo

Is this a good turbo to get a lot of HP out of but not a lot of torque? I want a turbo which will give me quite a bit of Hp but not alot of torque so I don't break my transmission?

um......... If you upgrade to a full 28rs or elim your gonna need a different clutch regardless.
I dont really get where your going with "breaking" your trans

he has a tip, not manual.

Yes, the elims downfall is the lack of tq. If thats what you want, then the elim is for you. There are a handful of tip a4's with elims on audizine from what i have seen, but i only check there once in a blue moon

a flange is the "lip" that bolts go through... like from your turbo to catalytic converter... the flanges matchup so theres no leak...
