Does anyone have any info/experience with this turbo? I was just wondering as it seems like it may be a good choice for my upcoming switch from twins. I am about to have my engine rebuilt and at least partially bridgeported. Just wondering if anyone knows some more about it. Thanks in advance. Laterz.

I'm looking at a half bp FD, V-mount IC setup, Power FC, fuel system, all suspension work, pretty much all the goodies. I want to car to still be streetable when I have the boost turned down though. I am shooting for 475rwhp@15-16psi though. And I'd like to be able to set it higher when I'm running race gas as well. Pretty much just for drag racing. Auto-X isn't going to be a consideration. Even if it was, the half bp should spool that monster pretty quick. What's your take on it Vosko?? Also, you say it's big. But it's not bigger than a T78 right?? Thanx in advance bro. Laterz.

I was going to look into a GT35/40 setup. However, I started hearing that they tend to break up power wise on the high end. Also, I was warned that a half bp motor might prove to be too much for a 35/40. I am looking for an alternative to that turbo. So it's the T04R, the T72BB, or maybe the T-51R Kai BB. And I never said that I was going to stop at 15psi. I just said that's what I want to run on pump gas. I will have a map for race gas and around 19 or 20 psi. I'm still wondering how much smaller this turbo is than a T78. Any help here guys?

T-04R or T-66 for the boost your running and plan on running.

Igy, thank you for the clarification. I am fully open to suggestion here guys. What turbo would be good for what I want and the kind of porting that I'm going to have on my engine? Like I said, I don't want a T78 and therefore not a T72 either. But I don't think that the GT35/40 would be able to satisfy what I am needing. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Also, I would prefer a ball bearing turbo. Thanx in advance.
