The turbo Spools very quickly as steve can attest to.

This is a fantastic Pump gas turbo. We liked it so much that we replaced the GT3071R turbo with this lower cost option.

Steve has an AMS flash 680 cc injectors, HKS 272 cams, AMS FMIC, AMS Upper IC piping with Greddy Type S bov, ARP headstuds, Walbro Fuel Pump, HKS DLI ignition, AMS water injection Kit, AMS VSR Intake Manifold.AMS Catback exhuast, Manual Boost Controller and an ACT Clutch kit if I remember correctly.

Im going off memory here but Im pretty sure I got most of the important pieces.

Everything is done at AMS.

Not abused and running less than 24lbs. boost (20-21)
10k mi.?
25k mi.?
50k mi.?
I'm gonna watch this car closely as it is right where I would like to be.
If he goes the distance I'm a convert.
Steve's car with the old setup (345whp) was impressive to me.

the picture is the same as all your other turbo kits... soo i was wondering if i was to get this kit and wanted to upgrade later... would the 35r bolt up to the same manifold?

i'm sure it doesnt.. but it never hurts to ask... haha

Thanks,

So Steve's car must have the perfect setup w/ all the different components synergizing to yield incredible result, much higher power at 3lbs less boost.
If I were to swap this turbo into my car the result will likely be much lower than my current numbers of 441/369 ?

Either that or the 50trim simply kick ass and the 3076R a disappointment.

I can see a 10-20ish/10ish gain from the AMS VSR w/ everything else being equal. In this case the disparity is just too great to call it just that.
