Did you know ball bearing center cartridges where designed for the longevity of a turbo, with a side effect was a tad quicker spooling.

Look for a Billet wheel turbo, they give the big turbo power in a small turbo housing, and are excellent on spool time.

Also know that you cant have both, quick spool and top end. You just have to find that happy medium.
there has to be a middle/ interested in the who makes the billet wheel turbo in a small frame?
Those 450cc injectors are too small for any of the turbos you listed.
i know im planin on runnin 1000cc rc injectors/ fixed 1st post
Well actually, you need your car to spool early because of our limited rpm range and longer gear ratios.
thats what i want to spool fairly quick but make great top end

I'm using a .57 trim and I start getting close to full boost by 3800rpm when vtec kicks in and its great at top end.
and which turbo r u runnin? is it a secret? lol

wouldnt it be great if they made 9:3:1 forged pistons for our car

why not spend 575$ on a garret? Im going to be running the 60trim .48exhaust A/R.
its supported up to 475whp and produces 53 lbs/min 678cfm.

or even same price for the 57trim with .48/.63 exhaust A/R.

and just a little insight,my 150$ T3 ebay turbo .50trim with .63AR is putting me at 217whp and 238wtq without any tune or proper engine management at the time being..ha

the ebay turbo is only good for low boost applications, they dont start to mess up until after 12-14psi
