I don’t know of a kit that is designed with a turbo that has no overhead, but if you call the manufacturer then they could probably source a smaller turbo. Are there any kits that come with a turbo that isn't selected for the MORE POWER crowd? The AVO turbo kit seems to be closest, but dear God, can we get a kit designed around a turbo from this century? Even then it's still more turbo than this engine needs or will ever reliably use on 91 octane. But in the end, with any SC kit, I'd be giving up precious power to driving the supercharger and I'd rather put that into the tires. The Edelbrock kit has some serious issues with the map sensor. The Jackson racing kit seems to develop its power a little too late in the rpm range. Of course I've looked at superchargers as well. I'm honestly considering having a kit built based on an IS20 GTI turbo - though I'm not sure if that's possible - as it seems to be a much better fit for a daily driver with realistic power goals for 91 octane, tuned to run at about 275whp which it should be fine with. It's just a waste of money and it provides a slower reacting turbo that doesn't build power until later in the rpm band than I'd prefer for what I'm doing with it. Every kit I look at advertises that the turbo is good for 400 hp, or 440 hp, or even over 500hp. Over 300 I don't want to deal with the risks and extras required to run this engine and driveline at that power level. Under 250 I'm questioning if the cost is worth it. My power goals, compared to many, are pretty modest. I've been looking at various turbo kits I want something that will fit well for a daily driver running 91 octane.
