"low end" turbo talk always cracks me up. granted a nice flat power curve is nice, but its not what turbos are supposed to make.

oo loooke a e-fight.. *grabs popcorn and a chair*
That was the school of thought about 10-15 years ago, man.
With ball-bearing turbos and other advancements, we're getting turbos that can reach full spool at pretty low engine speeds.

ok, then I guess I'm just old school beyond my years. haha. I still look at turbos as a way of making better top end. that said, my buddie's 1G DSM spools at about 1500

so your bringing up a turbo that spools faster then the one in question why? not all turbos are the same. the ms3 k04's cant make power after 5500 even with the throttle plate all the way open they have a lowend power turbo

I had considered that car the exception to the rule and I've never riden in it, so I take the owner's claims with a grain of salt... he also owns an integra after all. lol
and yes, smaller turbos (per CFM running through them) can puke out earlier in the revs. its simple math, a given turbo is most efficient when its got the amount of air going through it that its designed for. Wastegates can only do so much, and variable geometry turbo technology isn't affordable for a limited production car yet. I guess I just haven't done much homework about where turbo tech is going.

Oh yeah, I went there. I did it with class too. I actually have these printed and put them under windsheild wipers. It's a ton of fun!
Also, living so close to Gainesville, GA (practically in), I hand these out more than I change my thoughts.(ricer)

I don't know how to make it a PDF but if you go to Ricecop.com you can see their old one (which is pictured), the new one, or user created ones and they are all printable.
To get back on thread though, I am anxiously awaiting my endlink so I can finally get my Illuminas the way I want em. Next up is springs I think.

too lazy to tackle the rear right now... plus I wanna sandblast and paint it...
the front mount was ripped BAD, so I'm gonna hope that epoxying that is enough for now.
