^Those closed roads in El MeeHECO are definitely T3 friendly on the top end I would assume.

Thats the point though. With slicks and a small turbo there is no wheel spin. It just pulls! You dont need super top end. Just GREAT midrange TQ! and good top end. I dont really care about highway topend 150mph stuff. Its SCARY in these cars. Buy a Vette if you wanna go 200

I think he said the car was gutted. If you want to gut your car go ahead but i don't want to do that to mines. I ran little turbos for years with good results, I'm sure Rob can testify to that, but they are no match for a bigger turbo. The heat that they produce is just not all that safe at the boost levels needed to run low times. You will need some good fuel and something to cool the charge air in order to prevent detonation and they seem to destroy themselves if they get overworked.

never! and i had an 18g and i loved it, praised it many times, i weighed in at 2616 at the track full interior and tool box in the car with my holset hx40! and ill walk all over my old 18g set up and any 18g set up that wants to come near!

my first pass on low boost, with a 2.6 60ft, short shifting first and second messing up completely running a 13.2 i still managed to trap 118mph lemme see your small frame turbo make up in the back end for driving like a twat out the hole
