should i get a t51r

aight heres the deal i have a t78 apu.i love it to death.its a great compromise turbo system.but it hits so hard.now the t51r i know isnt producin full boost til 6000.but it starts at 3000 rpms and flows smoothly into the rpm range.plus damn it gives that bad *** whistle sound.u cant beat that.how do they get that sound?also its just t78 hits so hard.its lag lag lag fully spooled.plus ive been lookin for dyno pics and vids.but someone had to go and erase it.

A t51 is bigger than a t78 and I think it'll hit harder than the t78..

Go here for more information on the HKS turbos. Look at the dimentions and determine how the turbo reacts and where is should be placed sizewise.
