    use a different turbo. One that doesn't weigh 60 lbs. Use a garret, or a precision.

    To run that turbo under the conditions you're seeking, you're better off with a auto trans and a custom stall tq converter

    Holset turbos and the 3400 (Forcedfirebird?)

    Looking around here locally and I have found that a lot of diesel guys are upgrading their turbos on cummins and powerstrokes and such. This means there are many cheap Holset turbos around here for very cheap.
    I was curious which model of Holset would fit nicely on my 3400 hybrid engine in a low boost application(stock bottom-end)? John, I know you have some experience with them. I am thinking about a cheap boost build. I would like low-end power. Good for pulling out of corners, autoxing, etc. Looking for acceleration, not speed. Somerthing fun on the twisty roads. I want to keep the bottom end stock for now. I'll mabey add forged guts and a cam down the road.

    Engine/car specs are as follows:
    CAR
    86 Fiero GT w/ 88 suspension
    Lowered, buch of suspension work.
    92-94 fwd Getrag 5 speed
    ENGINE
    02 3400 on OBDII
    CAI
    Headers/exhaust
    65mm TB
    3500 UIM
    A/C and Power steering delete
    Have 3500 heads and LIM waiting to go on when I add boost
