Yes, I was asking specifically for the .86.

Reasons why I think the .86 isn't a good option

-A t3/t4 has equal spool time, and supports the same power...at a third of the cost.

-Those 'few' rpms make a huge difference in response...there is a huge difference in dyno RPM and then power over time. A .64 car comes onto power instantly...where that .86 has the response of a bigger turbo

-a smaller 30r makes the same power at the same psi, if not more power...and has the same response threshold


There are more reasons, but I can't think of them right now (tired, and have a few Troeginators in me). I guess in the grand scheme, I just believe that a 3071 or 3076 is the better 450 whp to use, as it can support SO much more power, without having to be spun to the moon.

I agree they are close but I know alot of 30r guys trying to come back to a .86 for spool time. Plus when deciding on my setup I factored in manifold and turbo extension etc for price and the .86 came out better value (given I can make the power Im shooting for, sheesh its been a long time!!!)


But I think its unfair to say unless you have driven a .86 that has been tuned to its full capability, especially in the fun department which is relative.

I was asking about the optional housings for the cold side. Not in comparison between .64 and .86. How much difference is there between the two options.

For example I see now that they offer ported compressor housings like the GTX antisurge junk. How much difference does this make and who went with what housing?
