What's the spool up on those? Max boost @ what rpm? I know you track your car (very nice videos of laguna) so why this turbo?

I'm wondering too. I thought a T04R was pretty laggy, and you are a track fiend! What made you pick this turbo?

Time on the dyno and track will tell if this turbo is good for the track...

I am a firm believer of proper dyno tuning and seat time before making a judgement on a product...

I'm not making a judgement on the turbo, just wondering why you went with the particular one you did. Still jealous none-the-less

What ECU do you have? You can always try anti-lag if it isn't to your liking

I have to try mine out first too, we'll see.

Anti-lag is more of a setup for drag racing. I have trouble seeing how it would assist you in any way other than the launch. Of course, I'm still new to rotarys. Not flaming, just asking for some enlightenment.

If you watch World Rally, you can hear their anti-lag on each shift. It would be more benificial on a road course than a drag strip, as on a drag strip you can shift at 8000 RPM every time, and your RPM never drops low enough to worry about turbo lag, except at the line.

On a road course, the throttle is closed for quite a while (relative, of course) as you come into a corner. The turbo is slowing down this whole time. As you get back on the throttle to come out of the corner the turbo has to spool back up, which will cause a slight delay and a heavy hit of power when the turbo really spools up. Anti-lag would keep the turbo up to speed while you are braking and turning, allowing the power to come on sooner and smoother out of the corner.

With the turbo Cossie has, and the amount of racing he seems to do, it looks like he is Viper and Vette hunting. They obviously have big piston engines that drive hard out of the corners, thanks to a lot of torque.

There are 2 types of anti-lag programmed into the Haltech E11, one is meant for keeping boost with the throttle closed, the other is for building boost at the starting line on the drag strip (throttle wide open).

Just my $0.02.

BTW

I imagine anti-lag would keep the over-enthusiastic off your bumper, as it is dumping extra fuel and severely retarding the timing to dump flame through the exhaust. This SHOULD result in some spectacular fireballs, but I haven't seen it in action yet.

If you bought the HKS kit, you'll be very happy, its definately trackable. run it around 1 bar to 1.5 bar, and it will be more than enough to take care of those pesky 911s

If you drag it has some lag.

If you track it and can drive, lag is VERY little..

But on a stock motor I would be interested in how it turns out. Thats a popular turbo on ported motors usually
