I have done of research and really havent found much out about running the t3/t4 on the msp. There are a couple youtube videos and thats where the line is drawin. My question is whats the spool up time compared to a gt30?
 
I hit boost around 3k depending on what gear I am in, there are some pretty responsive T3/t4's out there

^^ Sweet setup!! Can I have it? Haha But really I would love to have that setup! Need to find some money somewhere and buy a good setup. Any opinion on the Speed Circuit full turbo setup?
 
I have a 50 trim .63 a/r. Spools around 3200. I wouldnt go GT30 especially for the price. Precision turbos are going for pretty cheap these days. I know a few friends that run them and are very happy. I personally have a garrett.
 
I see. I am building a motor now as I throw a rod through my block in the car now. I am forging the thing so I dont have to worry about it. I am wanting to run a bigger turbo to get more power out of the car. I am looking into what turbo size 704_mazdaguy is running now. I am hoping to hit the 300 mark or a little more.
 
i had a 3/4 50 trim -- i think 63? 64? AR. i loved it. great out on the open road as long as you're not routinely under about 30mph.

Now I do drive a lot more in town the on "open road". Another question, would it be wise to lower the compression or stay stock. I'm not planning on running over 15-16 lbs. But with it apart I wanna make it right and have no regrets once it's together.

thanks and NO you cant have it HAHA. and as far as the speedcircuit setup, that's what I have minus the turbo, I went with a larger garrett than what comes in there kit. but they are very helpful if you have questions. The hardest thing to find now will be the steedspeed mani as from what I know they are no longer making them which sucks as that is by far the best mani for the MSP

you can make reasonable and manageable power with much lower boost levels. IF you want to run that much boost you will undoubtedly have to go forged. with proper tuning you could take a low boost setup between 5-7 psi and make close to 300hp(maybe closer to 275)
