Simon Wood, I built his car  :signLOL:. Yes agreed its a great turbo, but way more to be had, we have hit some issues plus no forged internals its capped for now. Saying that it goes like a scalded cat!!

My GTX3076r must start boosting around 3k and hit hard about 4100rpm I would need to check for exact figures. Starts to tail off around 7600rpm. Not great on 1/4mile without launch control and antilag. Takes far to long to get going.

BTs do punch a lot harder than a small turbo when it does kick in though, and you get a good 3000-3500rpm worth of decent torque held to the limiter.  Unlike the standard units that wither and die off too quickly.

I'm sure I was seeing around 0.5 bar boost on my Stg 1 ed30 at 2000rpm, just for reference, and then 1.7 spike by 3000rprm, and then it gradually starts fizzling out from there. Frustrating!  I've gone for a TTE420 to get something in the middle of the two extremes.

I remember when I had a GT35R on my old VR6.  It didn't do much until 3500rpm, even on that big old engine.  sh*t head flow though.  I got wasted by a Honda S2000 rolling into it at 70mph.  I was in 5th. He must have been in 3rd or something  :grin:  But it was a real world example of where being in the wrong gear and turbo lag means a car with half the power can walk away from you  :grin:
