When I was younger (10 or 12) my brother and I had a 4minute light saber fight routine all over the living room, jumping off of couches and etc. Those were the days.
My feeling on turbos at this point:
I'm going bigger, no doubt about it. Ken has something in mind for the stocker I sent him and that is awesome. I wouldn't mind finding something that utilizes the stock downpipe flange, because it would be cheaper and more practical for all of the guys that already have aftermarket downpipes, and thats exactly what Ken at PG has in mind too (as far as I know)
I plan on getting something that can put down near 350-370whp with all supporting mods (I/C, dp/midpipe, intake) at under 22psi or so. I don't mind lag at all, I'd prefer it. As palerider said, the lag is actually a nice gift to the tires. I just replaced my potenzas (got in may 07) at christmas time 2007. they were bald. Now my 912 all seasons aren't lookin good in the front either. I drive too hard too much. The cold weather doesnt help them stick either, instead they just heat up and burn rubber on top of the surface.
Anyways, I'm sold on the 3071r, but don't wanna limit myself for the future, so I think the 3076r would be a better choice for me. Maybe 400rpm later spool when I've got the 3" DP and PG exhaust manifold? I plan on getting a 1949-1953 Chevrolet Deluxe Cab 3100 truck out of school for a daily, and have the mspeed as the grocery getter and night time fun car.
So a spool time of 4k or so? I can live with that. Pushing under 18psi, with no map clamp, even better, less fooling of the ECU.
The top end of the power band will be taken care of eventually (throttle plate closing) by Cobb, CP-E, Xede ProCede system maybe, or maybe what Nutari's 'standalone interest' thread has to offer, if not someone else behind the scenes at this point. I have ideas and am working with a company on my own time to try and figure out what parameters the ECU is seeing to close the throttle, to see if there is a simple fix.
Conclusion:
Bigger is better, but not 35r bigger. I think (know) the 3071r and 3076r are the best turbos available for the car at this point. If you're not going to build the bottom end, go with the 3071r. if you are, or are considering it, go with the 3076r. Both setups will be very streetable. The sucky ECU will be reprogrammed eventually (time is all thats against it), and a the fueling is fixed, and there are forged motor options out there. ATP offers these solutions with a propietary flange setup to force consumes to buy their downpipe (good marketing idea), yet it sucks at the same time. If something is to come relatively quickly with the same sized setup on a stock exhaust flange, you can bet I'll be on that.
Until then, I'm sold with ATP's 3071 or 3076r setups. (usa)
