Whats is the difference in lag time between a stock ct-26 and a .57 trim ct -26? At what rpm will you make full boost?

for a shameless plug - there is a TD06 package for sale that will put down more power, great driveability, bolt on package while designed for greater output.

I have one and love it - better than a CT in every way (IMO).

And MDC does great work too!

the 60-1 wheel specs i had memorized 2.3"/3.0" for all intents and purposes... calculates to be a 59 trim, or 60 minus1 trim... very crafty.

the other ones, i dont recall the wheel dimesions though. i thought i had seen them posted somewhere, possibly on jblmk3.com but his site was under construction last time i tried to look.

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.

So far I am a little disappointed with my 60-1. I think it would be a great upgrade just make sure you send it to someone reputable to rebuild it. So far my turbo and my buddies 57 trim with 0 miles are junk. I am sure when I get it rebuilt by someone who knows what they are doing I will love it

Exactly, quality is key. Ive heard of several people having very little mileage on an upgraded ct when it fails on them. Like I said, Ive been running mine very HARD for going on 4 years now and it hasnt let me down yet. Mine was done by Performance Techniques.

My turbo is stock im making over 300. 262ft/lbs of torque :naughty: So stock is good.

But it kinda runs outta breath at higher rpm.

Hey MDC

What is the difference between the $510.00(shipped) 57 upgrade and the one in the group buy which is 575.00 plus shipping (CT2657GT)? :dunno:

I thought group buys were supposed to be cheaper?:confused:

answer here or PM

it's a different wheel being used...

the GT wheel will flow more and is a MUCH more modern design

HTH


yeah as far as i know it's a more expensive wheel since it's new and should flow more at lower boost pressures.
