Not true. There are a ton of things I would change with my car, if I could (well I can, but have more important things to spend and save my money on lol).

I've been playing with SR's for a long time (Granted I started FWD). I've seen throughout the years of what works well, and what doesn't work. That, combined with the fact that my car has been dead reliable (motor wise) now for 3 years (with all of the HPDE, and street driving, and street raising hell), would lend me to believe that my car is setup pretty well. I've started with parts, changed things, and upgraded...so it's notlike I got parts and stayed the same.


When these turbos first hit the market, the .86 far outsold the .64 (plus I used to sell turbos, I knew first hand). Why is this? Unsure...I guess people assumed that with the smaller turbine, that a larger A/R wouldn't make that much of a difference (as seen with the 28RS, which works best with the .86 housing)...however a few of us decided to go against the norm, and use the .64 housing.

I was IMMEDIATELY surprised by the response of the turbo (especially considering the size of the compressor) and began suggesting to others that it's the better turbo. I would give ride, after ride, after ride at meets, events, and hangouts, and recievd nothing but compliments on how much crisper and more fun the car reacted. I soon after dynoed the car and was completly taken back by the results. (I've sinced dynod the car again, at 19 psi, and with the gears, only to make the same power...so I'm happy about that after building the bottom end).

In regard's the Gscracers comments, it's hard to really determine what has better pull from a seat of pants experience. It's hard to explain, but a turbo that comes on sooner, peaks, and then remains linear will NEVER feel as fast as a turbo that peaks and then comes down (the peak throws off the feel). This is why a stock 5.0 mustang feels faster than a Stock t28 sr20, but a stock t28 car is actually faster.

11.65 (120mph) with a shitty launch on DR's, HPDE abuse, 30+mpg cruising, and turn key reliable (as in, my mom has driven my car without worry)...I'd say that's pretty darn good for a .64 turbo huh? I don't see many, if any .86 guys out doing me, especially at my boost level. Sure, I've seen 125 traps..but that's at 25 psi...not saying my car is the shit....wait, I am This is not to say it's the 'right' or 'only' way to go, but I think I provide pretty good evidence of my car getting the balls beat off it.

I'd love to meet up with you sometime so you can drive my car. Maybe after I get these C1's in we can meet up
