How much difference in Spool Time

[Larry L]

And whats funny id your car actually gets better gas milage around town...In normal driving normal shifting is about 3K-3500. So if your turbo dosent spool till 4K than your never in boost around town... That my friends saves lots of gas.

Ok. I will have a fully built bottom end by the end of the month. I will have a nice head as well. Stock valves, but 3g lifters, new seats, new locks, new 272or 280 cams, upgraded crower springs, and bronze valve guides. Seeing what i have or will have, what do you guys recommend for a turbo. I want power up top, dont want to lose too much spool time. Dont want to waste money. I would like a t3 flange with a 44 vband wastegate. I want a BB turbo.

Answer AWAY!!

Man, you must be having a good time buying all these parts

My turbo spools around 4k and I don't think its bad at all.

HAHA, right! It sucks having no money and no life having to pay for all these parts.

James,
A 50-trim sized turbo with ~54mm inducer from any of the various turbo manufacturers will serve your needs very well. I wouldn't go larger for 20-25psi regular use and definitely not to a 35R based on your goals for the car. If you want to chat turbo options feel free to get a hold of me
