Fellas,

The jabs and ribbing are really unnecessary. There's good info in this thread. It would be a shame to start editing and deleting to keep it on track.

 

I would ban Mark for starting this thread...but that's just my opinion...

 

Agreed

 

Yep..and about 16 pages late!!!

 

thanks randy! that's just the way i describe my car after someone gets spanked..yeah, thats's me.. ya know, guy with the milder setup

 

Hmm..I forgot,,Whats this thread suppose to be about, being in the Lime Light? ...
I think I know where it has gone..

 

turbo's and high school rivalries?

 

lol mild is a relative term.

Just for perspective, your car is probably as fast and capable as

most super cars that cost 300k. A 996TT with a GOOD 16 billet

and suspension setup can out perform a 250k GT2RS.

And then there's context. A stock GT3RS will annihilate every 1000 hp+

car on this forum on the track. Conversely a 16 billet car will spank a

GT3 red light to red light or highway.

and even Eddie Bello will lose going toe to toe with some Evo and Supras

that cost 1/4 what he's spent lol.

But 911s are very hard to beat on the track

 

Tim, I'm all about correct info. I'm all about being corrected if I've

misunderstood something or just have plain wrong info. I am very

green in regards to modifying 996 and 997 turbos. I can show you

a half dozen post where I was wrong about something and someone

clarified or otherwise pointed out the facts. Most recently, the 997.1

engine and its origins.

But when you are belittling and supremely authoritarian, I like most

people, become defensive and nothing gets accomplished.

To be very clear about all of this; I want to learn. I am very teachable

and furthermore I'm not mechanically inclined.

You know more then I do about the mechanical nature of these cars.

I tend to listen to you until you become insulting and degrading.

 

Anyone and Everyone car talk about Other cars being capable ,Other cars being better and can be bench racers.
Its what some one has of their own, their capabilities of driving and have it ready to run to back up their own words of what they can do with theirs that counts to me..
I am Sorry but I have not seen any lap times , competition back to back or road racing records to confirm what the best turbo is here with all this road race track talk...ONLY a straight line time record which is what was said as not what Porsches are for??
I hate to say it,,I think this is really getting old and repetitive...But that just my opinion here... Its all good

 

Agreed!

btw, speaking of straight line what is your 60-130 mph with the 18G setup?

 

Never did it but is that your jab to me for my comment
If so,,that's Poor from you..
I am sorry I don't have the claim to fame in that area, nor do I care Because I can take full advantage of my proven power in a straight line race using all the gears coming off the line..

 

Sorry ,,I didn't see the Agreed comment until I posted..
Maybe it wasn't a jab?

 

Probably because they are not marketed like the 3071 or 3076. My thought is that Tial didn't want to market a turbo that would outperform their 3071 with a negligible spool increase. The 3073 could be a replacement for the 3071 or 3076. They offer the small, medium, large setup (a28, a3071, a3076) respectively... just spit balling.

which is EXACTLY where the 60-130 and trap speed matters...
