I know it's a lot to ask, but could you pm me or post when you get it on the dyno?

It will be about a month before I get mine done. My experience might not be typical though since I'll have a 2.3L stroker with a ported head & 1mm oversized valves. With an equal length header, .63 A/R turbine and tweaked cam timing, I'm hoping for at least 300ftlbs of torque by 3500rpm. We'll see...
umm..it is laggy..i am still on 2 litre displacement.
on the highway in 5th at around 120km/h......and u floor it.....you go nowhere for a while.
but then again...i am into drag racing.....so it isnt a bother for me to drop a gear for better performance on the highway.
on the track i launch at 5000rpms...so it's in boost all the way...

I have a GT35 on my galant, same turbo only bushing, with a 1g manifodl and adaptor plate. Mine is of course laggier but in 4th gear I'm still hitting full boost by 4200-4300. I couldnt ask for anything more with a stock manifold and a bushing turbo that will make well in excess of 500 whp.
I have a GT35r in my car, and can say that I am very pleased with it. No lag at all. People who b1tch about getting full boost at specific RPM's are stupid. They may make 1 or 2 psi at 3500rpm's more than the gt35, but the gt35 is pushing more more air than their turbo and at a cooler temp. The tune has not yet been finished, but with stock ignition and 20lbs of boost, I was at 430hp and 400ft/lbs to the wheels on pump gas at Pann Auto's Dyno Dynamics Dyno. Once the tuning and other stuff is completed, I am hoping for 23-25psi on pump and we should also get much better numbers now that everything will be complete. Yes, the car is used as a daily driver (when it's not in the shop getting more and more work done). I do have a different engine though, but my evo couldn't be happier. I think my only complaint is with this much fun, I get $hitty gas mileage.
