my turbo will make a little more hp then a ct26.... but i don't get usable boost at low rpms anymore :cry:
now i usually downshift when going up a hill on the freeway. but i don't mind at all, cause you never race under 3k rpms.

60-1 w/10 degree clip here, with almost no tune, I made 371 RWHP. It spools quick, pulls hard to redline and keeps on doing it. Going on 4 years with no probs. People trip out when they see the little baby turbo under the hood. Its 10000000% worth it.

What are/were your mods?

Thats pretty much it. Stock head/cams, intake, etc. And I later found out my LSD was pretty much dead and I have a valve seal leaking oil into at least 2 of my cylinders. Like I said, I made 371 RWHP and it has only enough tune to run. In fact, it was all over fuel cut on the 1st dyno run and it was barely able to make a full pass on the 2nd pull. The AFRs are 10:1 or worse. Once I get it tuned, it should make plenty more power.
