GT40R vs GR 74 vs R85
Hey guys i wanted to know the differences between these turbos. I know there is already info out there on the R85 and GT40R but what about the Gotham Racing 74 Turbo. They claim that it can make 10psi by 3600rpms. Any specs on what kind of turbo it is. I am looking for a turbo that will make full boost before 4500rpm but will have sick top end. Im trying to run with the big boy (supras,vipers,z06) on the highway and want a turbo that isnt lag crazy but can pull like hell up top. Also for the GT40R kits which store has the best kit. Seems like everyone likes the A-Spec tuning one but i see that rx7store.net also has a gt40r kit.

Just get yourself the GT42R and you'll smoke any of the turbo kits you mentioned. It will spool up to 30psi by 4800rpms and 15psi by 4300ish, depending on porting, timing, etc...You'll have a highway killer.
