looking at adding an gt35, 1.06, .50 xr6 spec to n/a motor mild wade cam, rev range from 2500-6000rpm 9.0.1 comp, standard inlet and exhuast manifolds, and a 3" exhaust. through a manual power is one thing, but how resposive will this be? i dont want a lag monster or something thats going to run fast down the 400m as its going to be a manual anyway. also have a turbosmart38mm on the standard manifold so a turbine housing change is on the cards if need be. so what approx would it come on to boost? 3500rpm? 4000rpm? thanks

Itll be a little laggy... the .82 rear would do the trick.

iv got one on my v6, gt35, .70 front and 1.06 @10psi its not too bad, just worried how much worse it would be? its got 7.8.1 comp and comes on around 3250-3500rpm, which isnt too bad as the v6 is pretty punchy down low..where the vls not

Do the boost levels differ from the 0.86 & 1.06 GT35/40.

i reckon put a huge turbo on it…if you dont want a lag monster have the turbo facing backwards, or this is what my mechanic mate told me
