You went 9.50's at low boost with a stock motor.............. with that hillbilly trucker turbo. I'd be plenty happy with that.

When the time comes for the 'extreme' pressure ratios you're going to need an upgrade anyway!

50 psi is low boost by today's standards!
Just like 80mm is the beginner standard!

I can see you're deffinately speaking from experience there.

The perfect combination would be the BW comp wheel on a Garrett BB center section and turbine wheel. I heard that's under development.

Not true this was after I spun a bearing
before I spun a bearing I dyno'd 360+rwhp @ 9 PSI
was very laggy and I had to push 8500 rpm's
on turbomustangs I also bought a JGS 50mm wastegate and it had a very weak spring so I could never boost any more..I since sent the gate back to JGS and they installed duel springs for 20PSI

Sorry, i was at church praying to god that my turbo holds together!!!!!!


I would not describe that 475 as laggy at all. As a matter of fact i was surprised it even made boost at all considering the engine was unported. Maybe the intake, header, throttle body, and tune really helped it out. But no, it was not laggy at all (for a drag car).

Hey mazgtr, what turbo were you running exactly? Was it and old style TA45?

go over to turbomustangs, everyone and their mothers are running S400's and I haven't heard of one person having problems with theirs. Granted, alot of them aren't pushing 30 +psi but some are.

This guy just switched to the 80mm wheel and kept the 1.32 ar... no fancy race covers or special lightening or center sections

Keep relying on the domestic crowd for input.
People are running 30psi on 93octane now also.
Why buy a huge turbo like that to only run 30psi on a rotary. You could do the same with a lot less but then again you would not find that info over on turbomustangs.com.
