    Some guys with a monster ported TD04 hit full boost at 2500RPMS IIRC.

    Port out a stock turbo, anything aftermarket will spool slower than stock.

    I get 19psi right around 3000rpm depending on the gear with an IHI VF29 on my WRX but this turbo wont bolt up to anything other than a Subaru.

    What kinda car are you working with? The Garrett GT28RS is supposed to spool very quickly as an aftermarket turbo. A small turbo with a small aspect ratio will spool quickly.

    Are you dumb? Do you know what a 16g is? You want fast spool?

    Small 16 with a 2g ported manifold running 12 or so pounds of boost. 260 whp on an awd and spools at like 2500.

    Wow.. In all reality the fastest spooling turbo is going to make you LOSE power because it is going to be sooo small it wont alow hardly ANYTHING past it..

    For staters, why don't you list what type of power you want by what rpm?

    I autoX all the time, and smaller turbos are very helpfull.. but the reality of it is that you could get your ass kicked no matter what you have if you A) don't know how to drive it, and B) don't have the suspension setup for autoX

    If I were you, and I am judging you solely on the content of this thread.. I would invest all your money into your suspension/tires/brakes so you don't end up blowing your motor

    small turbo is definately way to go if your hitting some twisties and want peak power for the lower rpm's... but K03 we speak of is a vw/audi thing... your not going to get that on your car... one turbo i have seen similiar to size i think was the stock vr4 turbo (i think that was it ) 220whp/285lbs @ 3500 makes a fun little car to toss in the mnt's \/

    A stock VR4 turbo is a TD04 9b. Its a tiny little thing, It could be good for 220 whp, but thats approaching its limits, if not a little past.

    I put down around 400-ish WHP on race gas with 2 of them @ 18 psi (which is arguably peak efficiency for them) But that was not on the dyno, simply a guestimate based on my traps vs weight.

    I have a few lying around my garage if anyone wants one.. LOL

    A stock USDM Galant vr4 turbo is a 14b and I think thats what we were talking about.

    ya they are tiny its probably the only stock turbo smaller then a ko3 i've seen. well for what he is looking for 220whp would be great, 400whp is just way too much for shit like that... thats why you see 3 series blazing by porsches in the turns

    on that motor just getting a 14b in good shape and a 2g dsm manifold you'd be perfect for fast spool and room for improved top end. A 9g is garbage.

    heh, yea.. wrong VR4..

    I have a 14b lying around too

    I think he may be better off with a small 16g over a 14b for what he wants though.

    I would be fully spooled by 3600 rpm. Those turbos with a 10:1 compression engine were the shit for autoX and tight corners. of course I only ran 12 psi on pump gas when I would autoX.

    fastest spooling turbo I know of would be something like a paxton or vortech


    BTW, turbos+fwd+auto-x don't mix. I hope you have an awd 4g63 turbo car.

    Either go n/a or supercharged. Turbo will just make your times worse, unless you are a super-talented and smooth driver.

    Mazda miata FTW for YOU!!

    I beg to differ

    When I would go to SCCA events every weekend, I would usually place in the top 10% of cars out there. Which I don't think is bad for FWD TT.

    But then again, my car is built for sharp turns. I have everything but the coilovers. Including the tires/drivetran upgrades.

    **EDIT** Of course now that I have considerably larger turbos, I don't believe I would do as well now as I used to.. At least not until I do the AWD conversion.

    or you got a hyundai, colt gt, mirage, or a summit.

    I agree w/ 1439/2000 and stealthrt, get a small 16g
    but, then again you need to know what it is first.
    One word for you,
