Reliable 800rwhp

[Grim]

Here is a question for all of you that have changed turbos more then tires in a single year. What are some good set-ups if I am looking for the 800rwhp mark on the street? I live in the country and don't do too much city driving so it doesn't have to be a car that I worry about getting stuck in traffic for a long period of time. For the most part it's open roads and I can just cruise for miles. I am just looking for the best turbo. I understand I need to uprade the fuel system and multiple other components but I just cannot decide on a turbo system. It's hard to choose when every company claims that "they have the best". I was looking at T-88's, T-78's, SP74, SP76 and so on. I by far am not limited to what I have mentioned. Please give me your experience on this one. Also, one other curve ball... I need to know if it's possible to make this car reliable enough with 800rwhp, to make a 3500-4000 mile trip once a year? I understand that if I want to achieve this, then I'll have to pay for it. Just give me the best you've got!

6spd or auto?

The T88 and T78 are ancient turbo technology. The SP74 will do 800rwhp via a 6spd no problem, but the SP76 is overkill (and therefore not worth the extra lag).

Yep, no problem with a 6spd...just keep your foot (mostly) off the gas during the long road trip...since I'd have to assume that you won't be running race fuel during that drive.
