At least it was a faster response than you were expecting instead of nobody ordering a kit.

If you're in a hurry, why not buy a standard T4 35R, the turbo Sean starts with for this, and then send it back later for a wheel upgrade when the initial rush is over...

I may just do that. Is it just because there is a rush? Will I be able to buy just the turbo in a couple months or so? Will the rush be over? Thanks.

I'm not sure what I will be doing with the turbo's in the future I'm more concerned about getting caught up now first.

And no, no FC setups as of yet, stop by take a look around. Who knows what else you may like.

After I receive my kit, I can post some numbers after my engine breaks in (FC with RE). Might be 1-3 months though.

Sean, How much extra would the anti-surge addition cost?

I thought I recall seeing the dyno sheet for the low boost runs, but I can't find it here or in the single turbo section. Would you please post it or direct me to it? Also, I'd like to see the 20psi run too if you please. THanks!

ok, need some help choosing a clutch for this setup. I called ACT and they say to choose by torque #'s and not HP. Moreover, they say rotary is alot less torque then pisstons which is why torque is the best comparison. So, what is the torque at 450hp? ...and at 500hp?

I will help you get a clutch, I'm not a big fan of ACT setups.

What size rubber am I going to need so her *** isn't all over the place? I have 225-17's/F & 255-17's/R currently but do I need to fatten them up to 315's for 450hp? ...what is that to the rear wheels, anyhow?

That means he will NOT be selling just the turbo for quite a while. I doubt he will even give you a price for something he won't be selling...

If you are getting the motor built port it, it would be a waste not to. If not the kit will be fine. response is not too far off the 35R so I wouldn't worry, and then when your ready to port have the turbo in place to take advantage of it.

Why not relocate the air pump to the AC location? I plan on doing that to remain smog legal.

Funny you should say that, I remember having that conversation a few years ago. To be honest with his setup there really is no need. It will work fine where it's at.
