I would like to consider my 67mm on a 2.0L hits pretty hard, but it's a T4 setup with a nice manifold.
From my dyno graph at 31-32psi, I go from 220ishTQ@4200 to 460TQ@4900 (roughly) Also 180HP at 4200, 450@ 4900rpms (roughly).
The FP88HTA should be a badass turbo, but without a doubt put it in a T4 housing.
That must be a stroker cause no way a 67mm turbo in t4 housing spooled that good.
Edit: I just looked at your profile you have 9:1 block I take it that is the reason. Kinda makes me happy to see higher compression has that much of an affect on spool. A lot of people used to argue that the 8:5:1 2g pistons on 1g rods didn't do anything but obviously it does.
Rob's case is atypical. His setup just spools really well. It will not apply to many 67 setups on 2 liters esp. those with sizable housings. Not .63a/r junk. It could be the divided housing he's using too. C.R. doesn't really affect spool much. My car gets full spool at the EXACT RPM with the stock 7.8:1 C.R. and the 9:1 it has now on the same setup. That's more than one point increase with no change in spool. Displacement helps a ton though.

Hmm well I figured he was more the exception than the rule but still that's pretty good spool characteristics no matter how you cut it. I'm going t3 .70ar with my setup trying to keep it street friendly with good top end.

What kinda power increase did you see at the same given boost when you switched?

Can't say. I only dyno'd the car after. I'm not a big fan of high compression pistons actually. Just got a good deal on these slugs and said "..why not?"

I'm in the same boat. I half regret it actually. But I wouldn't have got even close to as crazy as I have had I not found the deal I did and my deal was for a assembled shortblock so I REALLY couldn't say no. But just from yoru butt dyno do you think the transient response with a big turbo and extra power is noticable or just a waste?
They are very inconsistent. So, the boost bounces from 19.5psi-22.3psi and back an fourth. I have an eletronic one I just have to fix the wiring on it and tune it. I have an 18psi WG Spring in right now, but once it goes above that, the MBC just does not want to keep the boost at 24.5psi. I will get it sorted out, I have bigger things that need adjustment. Like my launch 1.8 60's are ok, but I would like to see the 1.5-1.6 60's. I also need shift faster between gears and setup the NLTS. I should be able to get the traps, and overall et much better.
your mph sould be higher with those #'s, i ran 12.0 @ 119mph with 445hp on my gvr4.
your car sounds good, i was looking into the fp hta but i might go with a bw turbo.
Sounds like its coming along nicely, I wouldn't worry about some of the comments. There's always somebody, who knows somebody who made more power on less boost with a smaller turbo, with one cylinder not running, etc, etc Add some timing in that tune & I'm sure things will really start to wake up
Yep full weight, and I am not a skinny guy by any stretch of the imagination. Hell the car even has the spare tire in the back. However even if I gutted everything out of the car, it would only save me about 100lbs, maybe a little more. So I could say that maybe my car might be 1 10th faster if it was striped down.

Yep, I get the same stuff on every forum. It is cool, people have there opinion and I respect that. The my car runs 9's at this hp, is good to know also, because I know how far off pace I am. It also means that my car has a lot more ET and Trap speed in it.
I will continue to post all my good runs and bad runs, because I want people to see how my setup runs in the real world. I am not a pro racer, I am a weekend warrior.
So besides having to PAY to ship it back to FP or sell it is there any other option i can't think of right now?
You bought everything from FP? Did you tell them what you wanted or order online, etc? Did no one there think to ask, "why is he ordering a square flanged WG, while everything else on the order is vband?"

Word
You'd think the people at FP would realize that the WG wouldnt fit
If FP messed up, then they should pay the shipping cost to have it switched.
But if you order it wrong from the Web, then its only fair that you pay the shipping cost to have it switched.\
Either way.... give FP a call. I'm sure they'll switch it for you.
Nope I called and placed the order with FP on the phone. stated what i wanted and what i got was the list of what he stated i needed. he being aniel. but i talked to amber on the phone today and shipped it back to them out of my pocket, she is going to exchange it for the correct WG 44Vband
Just out of curiosity though..... did the subject of shipping reimbursement come up?
Were you told that you had to pay for the extra shipping cost from their mistake? Or did you just not say anything about it, and decided to eat the shipping yourself?
It didn't come up once she said they were going to just exchange it now if they get the 41mm back next wednesday call me and be like you owe the difference then we will go from there. i can get it cheaper through someone else than get it through FP anyway. but since i had a big order figured just do it all at once.
