I met a guy who drove his T78 around town without power steering. He was only 19 too so I guess it isn't that hard to do.

Vosko's T78 is awesome on the street. Very responsive. I always thought big turbos like that had alot of lag but after riding in his car I'm going even bigger then what he has. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

i drove onboost's t51 fd and i was surprised, it feels good. it doesnt have full boost right away but it makes good power all the time

the trick is to size the turbo to the engine. a matched turbo/engine combo will be better than a bunch of specs

yeah,



better turbos for stock ports would be like a 35/40 (or something that size)
