    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.

    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.

    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.
