Default KO4 vs. GT30R vs. T-28
Which would be the best choice???

Default decent budget? unless you're looking at over 10k and then some don't expect 450-500hp.
The T28/K04 has no potential in a 4 cyl car to produce 450-500hp.

Default I hope you got some cash laying around.
Neither the T28 or K04 will get you over 350 hp on race gas. To do a GT30R you will need to rebuild your motor to 1.9 or 2 liter and that will cost a pretty penny. To get 450-500 hp you will then need to do plenty of head work. So if you still want to make that much hp, I hope your willing to spend about $20k.

Default I wonder if the turbos I was looking at on thursday would
bolt onto that PES manifold, but then you could also go with a manifold like mine with one of those turbos.

Default T3T4e.. with the right Injectors, boost controller..
Internal Rods, Giant FIMC, the works..you can get 350+ HP.. but even if you do it yourself its still $$$

Default 2.0 volume and a GT35R ;)
a nicely built engine and 450-500hp is possible.
that should be possible on a "decent budget"... in my eyes...

Default GT35R is no where near being cheap, cost as much as a K04 kit
I was looking at one just the other day.:-)

Default I know... a "decent budget" could be so much ;-)
It depends...

I have something just like a gt35r, but no BB and a little better spool on mine :-D

Default GT28RS, but no one has tuned it... yet. or, if they have, it hasn't been released to the public.
If you want that kinda power, get an S4 and put K04s in it.

one of the bests kits out there is from AWE:<ul><li><a href="http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/gallery/awe_rsk04/index.cfm">http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/gallery/awe_rsk04/index.cfm</a</li></ul>
