Not that it's an option on the poll, but I have a Turbonetics T-66. Dual ceramic ball-bearing. Still a little laggy but when the boost comes...OMG!

Still very streetable though. I'll post numbers when I dyno it.

Carl,
I answered that very same question on a thread a few months ago...

Anyway, here you go: My T-66 is P-Trim with .96 AR. It's open, not divided.

I have a race port from Marvelspeed. I'm still waiting to dyno it.

hehehe I just noticed the dates...I think I pulled T-66 up on a search and didn't realize I was still looking at the search criteria instead of the single turbo forum.

Oops.

SP74 .... I know of at least one on an RX-7... the owner loves it. It's good for 900-ish rwhp on a Supra with damn good spool.

I would run a T78. It's smaller, not to mention cheaper than those other turbochargers. The T78 spools much faster, and, with the right tuning, you could pump out 550+ rwhp, without compromising driveability. This is just a generalization; poor tuning of any turbocharger is going to yield less than desirable results. Good luck bro' .
