what do you guys think? too laggy for a 30R??
Just going by the dyno chart, my guess would be that this is a 3076 on 91 Octane (edit: I guess it's not a guess anymore
). Judging from the late spoolup, I'd also guess that you have one (or more) of the following issues:
1.) poor choice of turbo housings
2.) poor choice of cams or cam gear settings
3.) poor choice of exhaust manifold
4.) some kind of mechanical issue (install/bad parts, etc.)
5.) poor tune

Is the equivalent of ~385whp and 350ft/lbs really that bad for a GT30XX on 91 oct and a SAFC?
After all, I'll bet he's not running a ton of boost. I agree that it does appear to be somewhat laggy (which may be rectifiable), but it seems plausible that better fuel and more boost pressure will increase the power in the familiar fashion.

FWIW, my 3071 hits peak torque (on both Mustang and DynoJet dynos) at 5100rpm. My power and torque are in the same ballpark (350hp/330tq @23psi) with the mods listed below. So, unless there's a problem somewhere, this appears to be a laggier turbo than a 3071 on a 2.0L.
