Hmm... Toss the 62-1?
Hey guys.
Since I lost a couple'a apex seals, I'm debating whether or not I should toss the 62-1 while I'm rebuilding and opt for a quicker spooling turbo... I'm not too keen on waiting 'til 4500-5000 for full boost...
My first thought is GT35R.. but I'm not against any ball-bearing T4 turbo. Just for reference, my 62-1 has a .96 A/R hotside, and I'd like to see my boost near 1 bar by 3500-4000 RPM instead of 4500-5000.
Thoughts?

I love the power this turbo makes, I just wish it would make it quicker.

Oh, also, Revvin.. what about a smaller divided housing? (.8'ish)
I'm installing my AI system as soon as the engine's back in, so I could possibly opt for a smaller divided housing with a better divided manifold and crank the boost up and get the boost response and power I want, no?

I think it might be my manifold. Something has always been fishy about it. Oh well, I'm still opting for a new divided 1.0 hotside and divided manifold. That should do it no matter what. :P
PS: Is your turbo the ceramic ball-bearing 62-1, though? Mine isn't, and that would make a huge difference.

i guess i should have mentioned that, mine is dual ball bearing. so that may help me. I loved my turbo, best turbo for the street and road course or drag. Great top end and it pulls really hard. I also have a q trim turbo with the big shaft option

Wow that is kind of laggish. I have a 60mm wheel and want more power. I was just gonna put a 64mm in my E housing. I've been told that I just don't have enough compressor. Everything else is the same.

I am having a t04r wheel (66.5mm ind) put in my E cover as we speak (was a 57trim)... the to4r is a popular wheel.
