    How well would a Garrett 50 Trim with .62(?) A/R pair with the 3.8?

    Im thinking full spool rpm, and power limitations.

    Would be painfully similar to a M90.

    Wow I cant believe someone finally answered. Thanks for the input, whats a relatively common turbo that would be big enough for the 3.8?

    I use truck turbos fairly successfully. As far as common gas turbos, I don't think there is such a thing. The factory grand national turbo may work, but it is also fairly similar to a m90 in terms of flow.

    well lets say that with the "truck turbo" holset hx35 on a 2.0 or 2.3 liter 4g63, it hits full spool with a t3 housing at abour 3k-3200 rpm. you are pushing almost twice the flow capability with almost double displacement, so i would assume that you would be getting full spool potential around mid 2k rpm range. believe me, a holset hx40 would be deadly on a 3.8 liter...hitting a lot of boost at 2600rpm and full peak psi by 4400rpm, insane! i dont think that transmission will hold up too long with a holset on it...better talk to triple edge about a custom jobby

    HX40s come on mostly commercial diesels, there are tons and tons of different low volume vehicles that use them. I would say far equipment is your best bet.

    HX35's come on the very common 5.9 dodge cummings turbo diesel. Many of these around, and the turbos have been constantly developed in the 20 years that they have been using them on the dodge's. Get the newest style stuff you can find, any of it will work, even the VGT version if you wanted to get fancy.
