T04B Too Much Lag for Street Car?
#16
Some of the more modern turbos can do this no problem. The issue is adapting them to our cars. Or Vitesse can throw something together from what I have heard.

Yea Vittese could do it the question is for how much, below is the turbo cyclone got, for the price and once rebuild it should be under $ 600.00 which I believe to be a great price for a T04 with a #8 hot side

The turbo is a great deal but unless you have a high reving engine with a 7K+ redline, it will be tricky to manage all that hp/tq coming on at once. Let's say you shift at redline every time, you'd still only have approx. 2.5K of usable power band so it's definitely peaky- good on a dyno for sure and for hwy.

Just so I put it out there I'm not even in the slightest unhappy with my purchase honestly it's a steal, the replica 8# hotside by itself is worth almost what I paid. I will be rebuilding it, I just figure if I should change the compressor wheel or not. I just want to make sure I have it the way I want it because I know it takes a good 6+ hours to change a turbo in these cars. The goal for my car is 325whp which I honestly believe this turbo can produce.
