My turn for A-Spec's 35/40
I have a few bases of comparason, though I haven't driven those, but all I can say is that I'm happier than a pig in ****!
I had installed the kit myself and they tuned and fabbed up a few things for me. I couldn't be happier (until I lose to something faster).
Unbelieveable spool and great throttle response. Steve (as always) did a kick *** job. Sean fabbed up some IC piping for me. (Sean, if you did anything else, thanks for that too)!
As soon as I can, I will get some dyno and 1/4 mile #s for you, though I haven't intended this to be a drag car, more of a track one.
I will try to post pics tonight. They will be in a sub directory of this: http://railgun69.homeip.net/Temp%20RX7/2003%20Upgrades/.
Anxiously awating my first new kill.

I'm using stock plugs. 9's all around. I'm tuned to 15 on pump. I'll tune to 100 sometime. Probably 18-20 PSI then. I don't think that my pump is holding me back at this point since I'm relatively conservatively tuned. I'll get stats when I pay more attention to it. I'd have to say once my pressure starts to drop as my duty cycle increases that would be a good indicator that the pump isn't up to the task.
It's almost like I have to relearn to drive this thing. The deleted PS is really interesting to say the least. Fortunately I didn't tear through anything when I pulled it so if I don't like it I can easily replace it. Plus, from driving the last 10 months with the clutch on my Saturn, this is like pressing down on a tank.
As far as the pics, those are obviously not the completed ones.
Bricke...I forgot that I need two more tachs for the turbine and compressor, though I don't know that any manufacturer would make something that can read that high.

He had a T51R at one point I believe. I was in it once, but I think the turbo was half dead at that point. It crapped out on him on the way back from RX-7 Rev in '03. I don't know what he had before that.
No break-in needed.
I haven't hit the dyno yet. I'll let you all know when I do.

I don't know what route you went in deleting the P.S., but i absolutely LOVE my Maval Gear fully-converted rack. Mine is a full street car running on 255-series front tires... and after a month or so, i'm totally used to it. It does take a bit, but i don't even think about it anymore.... and it absolutely ROCKS on the track. Many thanks to Jim LaBreck for the idea.
