I guess I shouldn't be to disappointed in my build as I got my first kill the other night.

Coming home from my sister/brother in laws house an 01 mustang wanted to toy with me around 1 in the morning. I heard him downshift and honk at me so I dropped to 4th and smoked his ***. We pulled over to talk and he claimed he has a professional tune, headers, exhaust and cams/intake done to his car. He has seen me around with my gauges and has been trying to find me to see what I got, well know he knows My car pulls pretty good at 15psi but I want more lol

Any other suggestions on turbo (keeping my current t25 mani/DP) other than cowboys suggestion of a Chinacharger 2870?

Tires come in Wednesday so I will finally get rid of those damn daisies and have a nice set of 6uls on her. The only other thing I want to do is build this 99, or swap heads which may be easier at this point.

I have plans for a similar build here. I'm going to be using a sr20 t25 first, then move up to any number of other t2 flanged turbos available. This is one I had in mind, it seems like the 240 guys say you cant go wrong with it.

How responsive is the spool on that? I don't want anything that will lag, my t25 hits 15psi almost instantly

Impressive that you killed anything other than mosquitoes (with smoke) on those tires!

Maybe I should come looking for you with the G8.

My Miata's still down. Haven't had a day off in a month and a half. Too much travel.

It surprised me as well, can't wait to get the rs3s!!

How much longer will you be out? I plan to ship my ECU back to Dimitris and possibly swap over my 99 head on the car so I will be down over the winter.

I have the china 2870 and slaughtered stockish '01-09 Mustang GTs and Mach 1s at the eighth mile track in a full weight car at 8-9psi on street tires. Car lengths. Frankly, I was pleasantly surprised. Boost rises quickly from 3-4000 rpm. Anything above 3800 is quickly spooled. If I'm below 4000 I should be downshifting anyway. I went with the larger turbo for reduced heat at equivalent power levels because it is for HPDE in Florida and heat is a bitch. It has a three inch downpipe and exhaust.

Doesn't sound to bad of a setup. I want a semi bigger turbo around 9-10psi that will spool quickly, seems the 2870 may be my bitch

But I lied to you guys, the rs3s showed up today!

That one is different from mine in that mine had red plastic compressor inlet and outlet covers, lol. Mine was $250 shipped and came with gaskets and studs. Mine has TBO cast into the turbine housing. TBO is the factory where many of the Chinese turbos are made.

Seem to be pretty similar, any suggested one of the three?
