Thanks guys!

Clay I think you're right on the money...

The turbo itself is just kinda old school, if I really want to maximize spool vs. power potential I should look into the more modern stuff.

But for now, since I really only want 500whp in this "stage" of the project, I'll just try the 70 A/R. I suspect that should fix the lag which really is almost tolerable anyways, just kinda inconvenient. Worst case scenario I kight need methanol injection added to do it on pump gas.

Next stop after this will be something with GT wheels/housings and CBB, or maybe something from Borg Warner (not that it'll fit in my engine bay, the housings are freakin huge!).


Thanks again.


And yeah I checked out the profile.

If you're worried about spool I would do one of 2 things, get a smaller turbine housing, or look at a new turbo. If you're looking for a new turbo check out the precision turbo lineup. I was there 3 weeks ago visiting their facilities, they have amazing new billet wheels, and their newest ball bearing system is air cooled only, it uses ceramic ball bearings as opposed to the steel ball bearings found in the garrett dual ball bearing. Anyway, if you need a housing or have any questions feel free to email the guy that godwin recommended, we import turbos/injectors/pumps etc. regularly, but generally dont' cater to the locals, 98% of our bus is to the states.

good luck with the project, should be badass
