Yeah I tend to agree with Rara,and he points out a good point
That HP curve sucks, peak HP is a good figure, but he has NOTHING under 4400... His Turbo LAG is killng him, it appears he went to the "ricer"(sorry if i offend anyone with this usage of the term) train of thought of "Hey! I want To put a T04E with a monster Compressor wheel and a HUGE turbine that was designe for something of over twice the displacemet of the engine I am putting it on.. "
Demon and I got into a nice "heated"(no turbo pun here!!! wink ) discussion over these factors awhile ago... Yes he may have a good sized compressor for his application(a T04B-S3 i think is one we came up with that was nice.. but it appears he didnt make this a hybrid T03/04 turbo.. or if he did he is using a .82 AR exhaust housing with a stage III upgrade.. (just a guess).. (begin Rant)It scares me that people will spend all the money doing something but wont take the time to plug in some figures to give them a rough ballpark estimate on flow numbers and talk to a few different sources... alot of people are like, well I took my car to this shope and told them I wanted a turbo.. Did you call the different turbo manufacturers, gus who mod them, etc...? sometimes it jsut REALLY makes me wonder... :rolleyes: (end RANT)
It would be pretty easy to put in the right sized turbo in now that he has the groundwork laid,and get a better boost curve, thus a better HP Curve, even if your Peak hP was about 10 lower, you would have it about 1000-1400 RPM sooner..(at least try to configure it to come on the same as your opening of the secondaries if you havent removed them for this application!)
Oh well... confused
