Educate yourself on turbo a/r ratios. Given no other modifications, this will most affect lag/power.

Isn't rpm the key with the jap motors? those 1.8L hondas rev to 12,000 with gt3582r turbos and put out a f*ck load of power.

What's a GT50/35?

Well, hondas can get up there, but need a ton of work to get to 12. My race 4AGE just hits 10k at a stretch but stops making power at 9200. I took my 944 to 7,500rpm.

The key for a higher power band is really very open exhaust to make it boost friendly and a cam.

Typo, meant GT30 or GT35. The new X range looks very efficient.

Go to Garret's website and educate yourself. The GT30 is a pretty good fit for our cars. You can play with the various trim and A/R ratios to place the power band where you want it.

I'm doing a turbo swap and figured I might as well do it right the first time. So here's my choice; GT30R w/ Tial 0.63 SS hotside...

Yes, but you got the 'GTX' version Paulyy which spools a little later than the non GT version. I think the .63 is better suited to stock 2.5s. Or if you go the GTX series, maybe even the GTX3071? Possibly/probably on a modified car that is going to run extra boost on E85 the GTX is better suited. On the DTM stuff which rev out a lot higher than ours turbo choice is quite different.

From what i've read it's only upto 200 rpm later.
When i find the time to fit the new fuelpump we'll find out how good the gtx is on out cars.

haha. yeah that's true. I called them to order their oil catch can because it said "in stock" on there website and was told it would be a "few weeks or so" because they are "built to order" - FYI: "in-stock" means: "built to order" nice to know.....

That sounds very nice and all . When do you plan to have something for sale\made ? I am sure there is demand for a small batch.
