hey guys. one of my mates just got a turbo for his 173 in his torana. it's a to4b. it's got a garrett front with 0.60 A/R and an air research rear with 1.52 A/R. just wondering when abouts do you think it would hit boost by? 173's are 1.85 litres. it's not ball bearing or anything. he wants to swap someone for a smaller turbo, but would like to know when it would get boost by. cheers.

haha 1.52 exhaust housing on 1.8l engine = no boost at all, unless he swaps exhaust housings with .64 or something similar
