turbo ?
Whats the power potential of an evo 3 16g? this 20g spools too damn slow for me driving it on the street, im thinking of putting a 16g on to drive with, then when i go to race it for fun ill throw on the 20g and retune. This car is more of a weekend toy but i been running it to work & back so i dont have to unhook my car trailer from my truck every other day. the GSX is dead.

RE: turbo ?
the 20G spool is not all that much slower than the 16G and the power output i much better.
My 16G hits full blast at around 3400 and it is a twin scroll (which helps spool) and its big16G. And the max power outof your average 16G is right around 360HP when the 20G is about 100more HP than that roughly

i been keeping it down to 18 max on pump gasbut its not getting much of anywhere untill 4500. i have lower compression (7.0:1) so that dont help it either.

well i run it at 28-30 PSI when im playin but i turn it down when i drive it daily to keep myself from getting a ticket, if i dont i keep launching it from every light sideways with all 4 tires roastin off and drivetrain parts are gettin expensive
\
its more of a self control thing. lol
i seriously have to make things slow to drive daily or i drive like a maniac constantly.
in 5,000 miles ive trashed all 4 tires that were brand new.
as far as not spooling till 4500 its like that no matter how i tune. i tried to lean it out in the lower RPM a hair to spool it quicker and bump the timing up some then i end up with detonation. its picky. makes me wonder if thewastegate doesnt leak.

RE: turbo ?
ur spool time is so long b/c of ur 7.0's. to get a quicker spool on something that low of compression you'll have to stroke it or get a higher compression. 28-30 sounds more realistic to me with that CR. just keep it down when ur driving and turn it up when ur racing. do you have a EBC?
