i think its all relative

just think of it this way, the bigger the turbo, the longer the spool (in most cases)

just get a small shot of nitrous for the lag time til you hit boost, then you're good to go..

O good god, ignore this guy........Go get yourself a T04R and call it a day. It will give you the power and fast spool time your looking for.

Turbo opinion
Does anyone know anyone or have these turbo setups to know the amout of lag they would have? also the amount of cfm and hp they can support?
To4R (.96)
T78
T88
20g
TD08
Im still trying to research my options and what turbo would be best for all around fast pin you in the seat but not going to crap out on me. And that info is hard to find for a rotary! because no one else has them. This isn't my daily driver I have a 00 civic Si for that. but what im lookinf for is somthing i can take out on weekend and kill some v8 and supras ect. and mabe even a few cars with intakes! and wings! lol
Any opinions?
THIS KIND OF INFO IS HARD TO FIND FOR A ROTARY! so if anyone knows please post!

T66 is the biggest I'd do on the street....T78/88 are huge and more of a drag turbo.

a 60-1/62-1 will almost always win on the streets. Lot less spool up time lost durring shifts and much more fun IMO.

I have a T-78 but still in the break in/ tunning process but in second gear I'm hitting 10 lbs of boost around 4k. It also all matters on your port size. ( i have a mild street port).I have seen a few T-88's and they are hitting the same amount of boost as I am but at about 500 rpms later.
Also LAG doesnt mean too much , as long as you choose the correct gear you should be fine for drag, and steet racing. But if your road racing then anything like a t-78, t-88, or a t-66 or higher isnt going to be much fun trying to get out of a tight slow corner.
