A Positive Statement In This Forum

I "LOVE" my GT35R kit from Sean!
Have been driving it in Houston traffic and on the freeways.
I can turn the boost down to 11PSI and be safe fast with good low end torque, or up the boost to 15PSI and wildly spin the wheels all the way through 2nd gear.

And that is with 255/40-17 tires. Need some 275s.

Thank you A-Spec!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, yeah, well according to quantum mechanics, physics cannot make definite predictions. Instead, even if you give me the most precise description possible of how things are now, we learn from quantum mechanics that the most physics can do is predict the probability that things will turn out one way or another, or another way still.

Ha! thanks. They are the best single for a daily driven FD without a doubt. I have a few upgrades that may make it even more enjoyable, and because your already a customer you will get some of them at a discount, kinda like a upgraded rate instead of having to buy a whole new kit. Whenever you feel ready for more let me know.

I have to admit this is one of the turbos that I was seriously considering. Zero seems like a good guy and he warants all of his work which is great. Also there is something to say about a vendor that can be on a forum and not recieve any bashing...must tell you something about the quality products that he creates!

After reading too many idealistic war threads on this forum lately, I decided to say something positive.

And here again we have someone being NEGATIVE and on a Sunday!
Wash your mouth with soap, HAHA.

Don't let him get to you. Think of him more like the forum idiot or clown. He's there for your enjoyment.

I don't run this kit but tuned an FD up to 19psi...felt amazing in 4th gear, then he roasted his brand new clutch in the lower gears. Small and packs one helluva punch!!

I assume he means the T4 divided? I know Broken09 is running that and absolutely loves it. Soooooo tempting. Decisions decisions.

I'm using a GT35R on my '93 I'm building for the magazine. It's not the A-Spec kit, but same difference. Since it's a mostly street car, I wanted the 35R. I'll be tuning it both with a PowerFC and a Wolf plug and play ... can't wait

I was refering to the T4 footprint, as well as a new wheel I will have available soon to provide more flow without really hurting response. This is a great way to keep upgrading your setup without having to dump the current one.

I've been seriously considering this turbo.

I talked to a buddy of mine and he said that the GT35R turbo he experienced (on another friends car) 'boosts too easily, whenever you move your foot on the throttle' and was 'in boost even cruising on the highway, and even at low revs'

Do any of you with the GT35R experience the same thing?

Yes it boosts very easily a can reach you max set boost around 3500rpm.
I never heard anyone complain about boost building too quick.
What is his problem with this?

It is easy to solve this simple problem.

I normally drive with boost set at 10PSI. It is a simple twist of the **** for 15PSI when needed.

It's good to hear good comments about a turbo kit and a vendor. As of late there has been nothing but bashing and **** talking in this forum. Glad to know that you like your setup cew!! I'll be using the T4 footprint 35R on my TII very soon.
