HPT v's LPT

As title what are the best ones to go with, pros and cons please

I have a b230fk, Which is the LPT, The LPT has not got an adjustable wastegate actuator, and after comparing to a scrap HPT this is correct, The LPT have Mitsubishi Turbos and a few HPTs have Mitsi turbos. I fitted a manual boost controller, and set it to 10psi. The LPT boosts at 4psi The HPT boosts at 8psi LPT stock is more economical than HPT. HPT has more turbo lag than LPT.

Thanks to the above posts. I understand turbo lag as had an old legacy, was teriible. Perhaps I should have been more specific as want to know mainly about the differences in reliability, service costs etc. I.E does a HPT turbo put alot more stress on the engine

Higher pressure turbo is putting a higher pressure into the engine, so it may just be putting a bit more into the engine- however Big modders like the turbobrickers, can push 20psi IIRC? running it at 10psi is nothing given the redblock reputation.

Thanks Raven, that advice was just what I was after. Problem is now the the car I was looking at was pulled from Ebay. Originally only wanted wheels to put on my limo, then noticed it had full leather and manual Anyone from here buy her??

Hi Raven I have wondered the same question but thought the lpt had a higher compression ratio than the hpt. My reasoning is: petrol engines have a compression ration of abut 9:1. When manufactures turbo charge an engine they first reduce the compression ratio by putting different con-rods, head etc or a thicker head gasket. The air is then pumped into the cylinders by the turbo effectively bringing the compression ration back up to 9:1. So you are still compressing the air to 9:1 in the cylinder. I have always thought that the higher you turn the turbo up, the more you reduce the compression ratio which will give a final 9:1 at full boost and thought the hpt had a reduced compression ratio vs the lpt.
