i have been battling a host of issues from a misfire to broken electrical plug to throttle body issues to now the car is dead. left the key in the ignition and drained the battery. now its charged but the car wont do anything. my durametric wont recognize the vin or any fault codes.
i was going to redyno with layinback in huntsville ut our schedules havent clicked either.
3071 turbos arent in my plan. i was thinking you get the 3071 and ill take your 24/18 for a song!
i did after the baseline dyno. 4.5" i/c, 72 lb injectors, epl tune, evoms intake piping, dual snorkel airbox with k&n filter, ams 1 bar wastegates have all been installed since the dyno. i had the y pipe also but couldnt get it to fit properly so i still have the oem y pipe with 2.25" silicone boost hoses all around[/QUOTE
Arent you interested in putting it back on Dyno to see what you gained with those mods?
You are ready now for some bigger turbos...
Hey maybe we can get a package deal on 2 sets of A3071's..LOL.

You have to consider how much flow you're pushing through the exhaust. I am rarely WOT at 2.5-3k RPM, especially out of a turn. Even on the street, I am not smashing the gas from point to point, I'll roll on the throttle. If I am cruising, there isn't going to be enough exhaust flow to build positive pressure or at least not more than 0.1-0.2 bar. Also, considering I cruise at a higher RPM, I don't use 6th gear much, either. I only use 6th if I am going to be on the highway doing 75+ for a long period of time. Cruising in 5th for me is usually around 3-3200 RPM. For street purposes, I usually keep cruising rpm at 3k.
Yes, I am looking for that instant-on effect if I am sitting at 3000 RPM and decide to smash it. Spool and Respool are going to be significantly faster on a newer designed turbo and/or wheel. The alphas probably have some insane respool, picking boost back up very after shifts, the k24/18g isn't as great nor have I mastered keeping boost in between gears with a LWFW and all the fancy dance moves people do with their feet when driving on the track.
Unfortunately there isn't a VTG setup for the 996, as I can make more power with the spool characteristics I want on those turbos (stock 997tt) versus most setups on the 996. However, going to a 997 isn't in the playbook.. so here we are again.

bruiser either.
I currently have an a28 setup and I hold the record for the 16 and the 28.
I've read the entire thread and I wanted to make sure I didn't steer you
in the wrong direction. According to everything I've read and interpreting
your needs as best I can, do this:
K16Gs ( nuthing fancy, Markski gotem for 1600 or so. I broke the record on
1500.00 cheap version lol) make sure and get the ones w/ good wstgt)
3.5 ICs
Free flow exhaust and headers. pref cateless or mimimal. ( yes, headers and I don't care what anyone says )
Greddy ebc
K & N
and lose min. 200 lbs and if you hit 300 you'll be faster than most $500,000+
super cars.
Super responsive and Fast as a scalded dog! PERFECT street / track car.
About $7000.00 with Markski ( after k24 sold/ traded) Switzer: $1000,000.00 Evoms: First born male child and undisclosed cash amount.
Mark and Jonn aka Speedtech offer a lotta bang for the buck quality exhaust setups.
Tell whoever you buy your parts from that you want a free tune thrown in
or no dice! You might be surprised lol. Make sure it's a reputable tuner.
You oughta get at least 1500.00 for your K24s
Money out of pocket shouldn't exceed 7000.00 after you sell/ trade turbos
You will be VERY happy

Yes, these people keep using the term, "turbo lag"
It sounds like a form of irritable bowel syndrome.
btw, I see you're rockin those a28's too. Marvelous turbo
I must say.

LOL.
I had 2 930 turbos in the 90s. Now theres you some turbo lag!
The way we addressed turbo lag was to drive well enough not
to be killed on the track when the turbo kicked in during heavy
cornering. Not kidding
