Those are too much money to be experimenting with. Since you need to retune anyway, I'd go with a significantly larger turbo. Spool is overrated even if I say so myself, you dont need anything below 3500 rpm.
I agree with what hustler's trying to say below whilst speaking like a man.......We need to clearly delineate spool from lag. i'm starting a thread when i feel like it. |

to be perfectly honest, I have to agree. I'd much rather have a strong topend than fast spool. then again, some people in here like to be full boost by 3k so...I'm not a track junkie though

[QUOTE=Newbsauce;384674 I do wish I'd have tried a 2860 though, as those seem like the ideal sizing.[/QUOTE]

im using an sr20 t28 ebay special, but to unforeseen circumstances, its currently loaded with garrett big t28 internals. spool is slow, but dayum, theres plenty of top end pull. i think im around 10psi on stock internals. finally got it running right, now my clutch is dying. so no dyno yet.

If i were to do it again, i would have gone with a a 2871, or at least a 99 head with an intake mani+ absurd flow exhaust mani. |
Looks like the 2860 with the smaller A/R is where I want to be. Now the question is would you buy this ebay special or go for the $800-900 name brand one?

Tell me please, because my 2560 isnt making anything near that kind of power. I would be the other person running absurdflow exhaust manifold, downpipe, and exhaust. Im making 275rwhp and 263 torque at 15psi. Full boost by like 3200 or 3400. I forget the actual number and am too lazy to look it up right about now. The difference between my setup and Paul's is that hes running a 99 block while im running a 95 (different compression). He also has a Begi intake manifold with a 70mm mustang TB while I am running a gutted 99 intake manfold with stock TB (still gave me 11 hp and 1 tq). His intercooler setup is also a lot nicer than mine and shorter. http://www.miatamx5.com/dynoruns/11-...e_vs_artie.jpg |
Need your opinion fellas. Want to but something asap. Would you try the ebay special for $300 or spend the extra $600?

Without a name brand or reputation, you are just rolling the dice with either one. Pick one. Your call. I don't know, but is that one a real Garrett? Hard to believe the price. |

Probably a dumb question, but why does your torque curve fall so quickly?
