Could use some advice

Im expecting my apexi rx6b kit to sell on ebay by monday, so Im looking at different setups. Im looking at going bigger, its going to be an occasional street car and its also going to be at the track alot more this coming year so I want something that can put up big numbers. Lag doesnt bother me too much but Id still like something semi decent as far as spool up. Im looking at something with some major power. I was looking at sub-zero's t72 but he said the spool up is around 5k rpms, I was thinking maybe getting his kit and swapping the turbo out for a ball bearing t72 or t70. I was also looking at the bi-state customs to4r, I have all the other bolt ons and I am changine my power fc out for a haltech and im looking to run some high boost at the track. Im looking to break into the 10's with the car and make a legitimate run at the 10.8 BPR seems to put up on a regular bassis but also keep the car somewhat streetable. Any information you guys could give would be appreciated

gt35/40 has good spool up and decent power, t78 is a laggier but has a much greater power capability. dave at kdr said i will be boosting at like 3300 rpm with the t78 which doesnt seem unreasonable. if you want to hit 10s your gonna probably need a good differential some sticky tires and some good driving. If you throw a t88 on there, your talking about 5k boosting and prolly 10s all day long, but i dont see you having much fun on the street.

yeah I know about the differential, thats already taken care of. I know the t88 will make the power but sucks on the street which is why I was looking at the t04r or the bb setups, i want something different then the gt35/40

The bad thing is that if You check My posts when I bought this turbo last Winter it was supposed to be a ball bearing, but I got shafted.

Im still thinking of grabbing your turbo kit and selling the turbo and swapping it out with a ball bearing t72, or t70, like I said Im still looking at the to4r as well

Swap it for a t66. Its ALOT cheaper then ball bearing and can easily put you in th10's with proper tuning. But will still be a ton of fun on the street
