The reason i asked. I saw a Daily driven type r, civic si, and a vr6 use this turbo and made 350-450 @ the wheels. The civic si only had a thicker head gasket with no internal work. He told me that he used this turbo because it came on later than the t3 t4 but a lot stronger on the upper rev band,(less wheel spin on take off). All the guys that used this turbo ran no less than 115 in the 1/4 mile and the fastest was the type r with full interior that ran a 132 with no nos. The vr6 jetta ran a 11.6 @ 128.
