On a basic street car the 62mm turbo is a winner. ---------- Post added 07-02-12 at 15:03 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by AVG45 [View Post] Isn't saying "just put a 5k stall in it" as bad as just throwing a gt42 on anythnig? Pretty broad statement isnt it haha Oh it is, but the point I'm making is don't stick a 3500 stall in it and expect it to be repsonsive.

got a 35/40 in my vl. love it there's not one thing i hate about it.once on boost it mashs the rears with ease

I have a TO4e which no one has mentioned. It comes on boost really early and is punchy as hell around the street. What are these like compared to a 35/40 or the TO4z? I love the low down boost and midrange, it makes the car.

Do you have the details on the turbo? They can be anything. Blame the china imports and all the weird hi-flows out there.

r the 35/40s alright with the standard plenum, ive wanted to chuck one in my vl for a while once i get engine rebuilt, keep a standard ish look how do they go with MX7s? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

GT35 is a no brainer here. Pretty affordable these days, plenty of punch, great response, hi or low mount it on whatever manifold you want. Easy driving all round and an animal when you feel like it. 9's in full street trim on E85 and et streets in my car.. For a streeter/couple of times a year racer.. Couldn't pick a better turbo.

Problem is everyone wants to run 8's on their standard engine in a 100% street car and you can't tell them otherwise. It's funny when you're mopping big power and big turbo cars with a basic set up and small turbo

is there any good sites to get a gt3540 from apart from ebay??

I've just dropped from a GT40 to a Borg Warner S300 (which is smaller) in my RX3 and the car is a weapon with the smaller turbo. Rips on the street, before it was a laggy pig only good for the strip

Rips on the street, before it was a laggy pig only good for the strip I did the same thing. So much better having a turbo sized for your application.

Couldn't agree more with PROGMH. A good friend of mine was running a 35/40 in his Calais which I drove from time to time. The thing would come on boost instantly and was so much fun on the street. It also ran 10.6 @ 131mph on the track in full weight spec (3 speed transbraked Jatco). As stated a million times before, it all comes down to a complete driveline set up & tune. FYI - the Calais I mention had standard exhaust & inlet manifold, with the air con still hooked up for effortless summer cruising! It would put to shame alot of '9 second' cars, because by the time they came on boost, they would be staring at the tail-lights!

I Agree with what Brett says in his posts and also Darren's alot of 8-9 sec vl's are quick down the strip but on the street a nice setup car with 35/40 etc will hand it to the 9sec car bc there so much more instant response, needless to say I was very happy how my vl went on the street with the gt42 but alot of that comes down to a good converter and tune etc!
