My 996 six speed swap and wavetrac made good work of that
It's so responsive that it's much easier to drive hard. The power comes on much sooner much much more predictably, and throttles easily. Above 3500 the torque / boost literally comes on about as fast as you can put your foot down. It's unbelievably good.
I will be releasing / selling a FULL support / product line for these turbos.
Most of the products are already listed on my eBay account and webstore.
My personal car - I decided to tear the engine down and upgrade the internals, while the turbo is out for upgrade. Pushing more power than this on stock 3.0 internals would be extremely risky, even on e85.
So it will go back together with forged pistons, rods, new cylinders and probably a cam change. With the upgraded VGT turbo, we'll see what it can really do!
If I can make about the same torque and just hold it a bit longer up top, it will be absolutely perfect.
I'll tell you guys, I had a toyota 1jz powered fd rx7 making 750+ whp before. This is far more fun. Peak power is for fan boys and dyno queens. We (generally) aren't racing these cars at the drag strip or from a 80mph roll. This is coming from someone that used to chase big power and had a few MKIV supras, the fd mentioned, and built / designed the 900 hp 959SCs at Canepa.
An engine with BIG low-end torque and good peak power is FAR, FAR more fun on the street, and actually much faster in basically every real world driving situation.
