That graph is more laggy than my gen2 gtx35r in the stock ford housing. I still have stock compression. 

 

I currently get 5psi at 1800 rpm with no brake boosting. 

 

I haven't even changed my timing as it comes onto boost yet. I know from logging I could improve spool quite a bit. 

 

Why is your car coming on so slow?

Not sure how torque is worked out on hub dyno. But what do you think will happen when we smash in 25 - 30 PSI????

 

Modified turbine housing. It helps with grip...

 

 This run was floored in 4th at 500rpm. We were trying to run it out of fuel

I remember that conversation. 

 

It'll help with grip but a tune will do the same thing. 

 

Turbine mods aside you are asking a lot of a 62ish mm compressor. 

 

I haven't plotted the compressor map or tried it myself but I can tell you from experience that even if you weld your wastegate shut you will be lucky to hit 30psi with a 35r on a 4L and 25psi will be gone in no time. 

 

You'll still hit the usual top end wall that the stock or slightly modified turbo has.

 

Having it ramp up that quick due to compressor limitations will likely remove any chance of having grip, in most situations.

Grip and 500 rwkw's in the same sentence.

Hmmmm sounds plausible.

I'm calling myth busters on this one....

60s engine design vc commi inside and a pillars as soft as a bamboo pillow.
But handles well....
 
To bad that fans blowing all that sand into the drivers vagina 

Some of us happen to like sandy vaginas.. keeps us on our toes..

Its an 05.. so pretty much basic interior. Previous owner did a dodgey job of putting on a pod filter and an alpine sound system (typical boy racer mods). It has aircon and cruise control so does me fine for the drive to work and back.. except for when it blows radiator coolant out the bonnet scoop..

Yeah its called putting a brick behind the throttle.
