Once you feel the big power of one of these turbos you will never want a stock frame setup again!

for sure. i dont like letting out at the track . my gsr had a 35r and wasnt as much fun as the rs tho. Initally we (aaron and i) decided on the ets 3586 kit. but for what i use my car for currently, its just a bit much imo.

I can't agree on that one. When I had my talon, I had a 35r setup on it and it felt pretty good. But when I got my Evo with a stock 8 turbo on it, I absolutely loved the spool on it. After that, I said I would never by another T3 turbo again (especially with the release of the BLACK). Its just hard to beat these turbos for the money unless you're trying to go deep in the 9s.

I've had all kinds from gt35,gt4088 2.3, gt42r 2.0, 6262 2.0, nothing compares to my stock turbo stock engine. 460tq at 4400, 400tq at 3800,
deep 10s go fpred, 9s go black, deep 9s do a 2.4 fpblack, torque the 1st 1/8 mile, hp for the rest.

About driving, I meant the mph must feel good up top. My car feels so slow the last 1/8 mile. I didn't mean that I can drive a better et. I can't drive.

No worries. lol. my issue is the other way around. the short time feels slow and then when i hit 4th im like oh yeah baby. I find it weird that if i bog out or get a nasty 60' my mph hits big time. nice 60' nets me a slower mph. And your one of a hand full of people to hit 10's on the stocker, so i think you can drive bro :P
