Laggy. You dont want it unless you are running 25lbs off boost.

I know the Supra you're talking about with that T51R turbo setup, the owner is a very good friend of mine. As far as lag goes compared to the supra, it'll spool a little quicker on a rotary due to the exhaust pulses being stronger on a rotary motor than a piston motor. This turbo is really good and efficient at high boost. The efficiency and spooling of this turbo is about equal to a T88 turbo from Greddy.

Actually I was refering to Albert's car, not Johns. Albert's Supra has the same type of turbo setup and that's why John bought a T51R for his supra(too bad about what happened, we told him not to go to _______ to get his work done, but hey **** happens, I know of a 93 RX for sale, it needs a little tlc though, but the price is worth it, let me know if you're interested.

yeah, you're right. as soon as the boost hit, it was all over. that ****** pulls so ****** hard like there is no tomorrow. like Poweraxel saids, it's strictly for drag racing and not street.
