Well I'm finally going to finish my setup but I'm starting to get worried with all of the info I have read. Most people would say that if your going to use your car for the street you should choose a 7cm because it will spool up quick and only to go with a 8cm if your going for straight drag and more power.
My questions are:
Am I going to encounter a really slow spool on a green with a 8cm cartridge?
And will it really bother me if I want to use it on my daily driver?
And my last on would be "Am I better off with a different turbo or should I use this one?"
 
I would stick to the 7cm housing on the Green.. The 8cm will crack.. It crack on my red.. And lag is just a state of mind.. I went from 16G to a green to a red to a FP3065. I love my FP3065.. Full boost doesn't come on till 4.2-4.5K but it doesn't bother me. But that might bother someone who love to auto-cross or hates lag. The reason I don't hate lag is becaues I love results of the turbo past 5.5-6K Street ablity is what you want. :thumb:
 
That kind of sucks since I already purchased the fp green a couple months back, but if it doesnt work I also have a fp3065 setup that is still in it's box.
 
I have one last question: What rpm would this turbo start to spool and when would it reach full boost?
