MSP turbo (GT2554R) / 1.8 VVT
105k miles untouched, oil burning hero vvt motor
oem Squaretop
251whp, 217tq @ 12 psi, pretty conservative timing
Dotted lines are sr20 t25
I was feeling like on the limit of the stock rods. 2nd image shows what two more degrees of timing can make (more than I'm comfortable with).
Thing is a spool monster too. Starting to spin at 1450 and would go up to 16psi a touch before 3k (turned down for obvious reasons)

Here's my ignition and boost maps
Worked hard on getting the torque curve as flat as possible.

Your build thread was very helpful to read through, same here with these dyno results. For someone planning a turbo build who has a journal bearing T25 in hand but wants to build it once and build it right, would you say it’s worth it to hold out for a ball bearing MSP turbo or were you happy with the original turbo’s spool and response? Numbers look quite similar, curious if there was much difference in terms of actual driving feel.
