The turbo that is available has the .63 turbine housing I have not been studying turbos as much as I should but .63 seems too small ....

I have headers now. A change from my first post. I get full boost (.8bar) by just over 3k. I wan't thrilled with that at first, but my threshold is about 1800rpm and this turbo really is wicked! Thrust never stops for my 3.0 till forever. I never go over 6500rpm and the turbo never stops for my application.
I don't have true vband, mine is a bolt on vband to make it easier to change mufflers etc.
And my compression is stock 6.5/1 and I know thats where some of my lag is from as well.
I'm used to the response now and love it. I use a weak 915 transmission and if I had boost sooner it would make that issue worse. I feel my car is perfect in regards to power with my current setup. I can't use more power with this narrowbody. First gear is not used more than half throttle and second gear is predictably a tail wagger on boost every time. More boost would be silly till I can afford a g50 or 930 box.
I love the GT3076r on the 3.0t
