well the turbo is always spooling as long as your engine is on..lol .hehe....


j/k..anyways ....Mine is pretty much hitting 15ish psi at 5K in second, with a mild street port.

Spool time will differ slightly with different portings

with my 1/2 bridge port i get full boost by 4225rpm

the turbo has a pretty good powerband!

i normally get full boost in 3rd gear around 4100-4400 although you dont really feel it until 4600 or so this is with a very "healthy" street port

you can come down and go for a ride whenever.. ive been trying to arrange to get the car retuned by john(jodeny) but things on the car keep popping up(snapped shock, blown clutch.. etc etc) i just finished changing the clutch and the shocks so if everything holds together maybe in a week or so ill retune.............. and the only reason me and steve kan stopped dyno'ing at 13.5 is because my boost control had broke and wouldnt let me turn it up anymore, that problem has since been fixed and iam anxious to see what it does at 15-16pounds
