so you have a single scroll on a t4 manifaold? why? and thats what i would think.. It's hard because nobody really has the cea 62 they just stick with the old one or upgrade to the 6266 cea. What are you pushing to the wheels at 27 psi and is this on e85 or pump?
No i have a fullrace twinscroll T3 and correct i have the old non cea 62. I just order the CEA SP6266DBB .82 on the old turbo i was making 505whp 425wtq @ 27psi on a dynojet 424. this was on 93pump gas

Its a fairly new turbo and since the 6266 will spool as fast or faster then the old 6262 my guess is that most are opting to get the 6266 out of the gate.
I was going to do the 6266 until I saw they are coming out with a 6466.

I know it is a newer one and figured that's why it's so hard to find dyno sheets with it. What does the 6466 look like its gonna do?
Really the only results i've seen yet...i'm sure more will pop up soon.

The 6266 will not spool as quick as the 6262. Ive seen the new turbine wheel compared with the old 65mm side by side, and I can tell you the changes are very minimal and definitely not substantial enough to drop spool time that much.
Not trying to thread jack but here's my situation. I am on a stock block right now and want to try and make it through summer before I pull it and have it built. I want more power now and figured I could get a setup that will get me up around 500-550hp and keep the torque mild to try and preserve the block. My tuner mentioned get a 6262cea bb, he makes sweet custom header setups (Fathouse Fabrications). Then with the built motor we can push the setup and make some better numbers. Is this the best turbo..... or is it gonna be miserable driving on the street with a stock block and not making making very big numbers? Should I just not worry about it and endure it until we can push it and the lag will be worth the power hit? Should I go with the 6266 or a garret turbo? Too many options.
