Good Lord. Oh I had lag but I didnt think that it was that Big. All I knew about it is that it had a Exhaust Housing of 17cm and no One could help me get anything that I could change the Exhaust housing. I eventually just got rid of the turbo and thats why Im searching for another one right now. Spool Sucked but top end was outragous. I thought a few times I was going to break something it pulled so hard but Just getting there wasnt any fun.

It was the Mitsubishi TF07-17M Turbocharger and No one could tell me much about it.

So throw those turbo recommendations out there so I can go buy something.

CT-26 with H3 spool (T04b-type trim) built by TEC (Turbo Eng. Corp.) OVER ten years ago... I've used TWO of these same hybrids with good results for YEARS

SETUP:

HKS FMIC
HKS x BUNCHES of stuff... 3.3" (drager),VPC,PFC-FCON,EVC,SBC,GCC,550's,etc, etc...

I run at 15psi. Full boost is a steep slope between 3,300-3,800RPM range, with nearly NIL lag after 4,000 RPM. Pulls EVEN 15psi without "creep" or "drop-off" thru entire range after 3,500RPM. Clean in all gears. Around 400HP:biglaugh: (Need to pull real numbers eventually...)

Plan to go CT-26 w/60-1 soon to "target" my 500HP goal... but may go T4 and shoot for 600HP if I rebuild the motor. (Stock bottom at this time...)

GT4082 with the Precision exhaust housing is working very well for me.


I looked at that turbo but I wasnt for sure if you could even get a Smaller Exhaut housing for. What Size did you get and how is your Spool time?

would you mind posting a pic of your setup? I wouldn't mind seeing it


My engine is apart right now but it should be alive within a few weeks and I'd be happy to get you a pic!

It was making positive boost at 2k rpm on the freeway, and 10psi by about 3k rpm. I have the .81 AR Precision housing.

4082 is a cool turbo, but you would be hard pressed to make 500rw on pump gas.

if you want power and spool you are going to have to get a small a/r and bb on a mid size turbo imo.

also dont forget there are a lot of other factors effecting spool than just the turbo setup.

i''m running a gt76 super duplex bb turbo.

hits pretty hard at 10psi.
should make over 600 when i get the fuel setup installed.
