AGP turbo selection

[gSx_r1der]

When selecting a turbo upgrade, taking into consideration lag. I'm trying to figure out weather or not I want a 50 trim, 60trim/60-1, or a sc61/rs65. Right now my mods are pretty much set for big numbers. I have all the supporting mods for any street turbo right now. But I read all these reviews on people not happy with the bigger turbos mentioned above because of the lag, but in terms of lag I never drive my car at fool boost anyway. My car is a daily driver and it only sees full boost on the freeway on/off ramps and at the track. So if thats the case why would I want a fast spooling 50-trim if I dont drive at wot on my 16g now. What I am considering are the agp rs 60 trims and the agp rs65 because I dont street race or road race or light to light race like most people. I drive under boost all the time because its how I feel most comfortable. So with all that in mind how do you (people who own these turbos) feel about my consideration of the above turbos?? BTW I know that the bigger turbos arent really in there most effecient range untill about 25+lbs and that is what I'd be running at the track on race anyway so help a brotha out with this choice

PS: If you dont have this turbo dont post, I dont want any freind of a freind stories. If you have no experience with the above turbos or any real knowledge of the above turbos dont post!!

"Goals 420-450 awhp w/ full spool by at least 4250 50-trim+DSMLINK+JMFAB intake manifold"


Is this on race gas or pump? I saw your profile other than your 8 inch wide fmic j/k and your act2100 all you need is to chose one ofr those turbos and your good to go. 420awhp on a 50trim on pump gas is very possible with the right tuning. To be honest though unless your going link real soon which I saw you waned to get in your wish list go with the 61 cause if your cool with 4500-5k full boost then why not go bigger cause that 61 will be a top end monster and it's gonna be hard to squeez all that power out of any of those smaller turbos without some kind of timing controll and more percise fuel tuning too. My GT14 is almost identical to the agp rs65(just duall bb )

Your right slippi if I basically read my own profile and looked at my goals then I'd realize that I should run the rs65 since I dont drive at wot like and I dont mind the "lag". But since I'll only be racing at the track whats the point in buying a fast spooling turbo when I can run the race gas and some alky/water injection and turn the boost up to the most efficient range of the turbo, in the 24-27 lbs. Thanks man, now I just have to decide between rs65, or the scm-61.

So next question, which one??? From what I have been told by the guys at agp they run a .48 a/r and the pte runs closer to a .63 a/r.

Just from hearing people talk on here it seems just about everyone with the scm61 is happy and makes very respectable numbers and I haven't heard many people talk about the rs65 but you would be best off finding people with both and askin them what they think first hand.
