AMS GT42 question?
AMS GT42 question?
Since everyone seems to be jumping on the GT42R bandwagon. I was hoping that someone from AMS cough cough (Eric) would tell the bandwagoners what RPM the AMS car sees full boost.
I know Marco, owner of Magnus Motorsports, saw full boost at 6K on a 2.0. Any input from the AMS guys?

We've been using the 1.01 so far and it's backpressure is really low, not much to improve on. I have a larger one sitting here but it's much bigger and I think it will be too laggy. We'll know soon enough.

I was under the impression that the new GT series turbos are made more for high boost applications than their counterparts. If you were to have 2 evos race, one with stock turbo and all bolt-ons and one with all bolt-ons but stock motor with the 42r, what kind of outcome would you expect in a quarter mile ? What about daily drivability with such a monster ?

Why in the heck would you want that big laggy *** turbo for the street. That makes absoulutely no sense. A street car needs a "WIDE" power band. Get something that is quick to spool and pulls hard to redline.

I think guys are also forgetting the fact that you will lose boost in between shifts while drag racing unless you have a no-lift-to-shift setup with whatever engine management your using. I had a FP Red (60-1) on my GSX and I used to lose boost in the shifts, I would shift at redline and in the next gear I was spooling up again instead of the boost being right back at full, it was very nocticable compared to the quick spool of the L2R I had on it before that.
