wait. So it’s not running well? This was me cruising in 4th with the converter locked. I matter it, the converter had to unlock, and it had to drop a gear. Doing all that I thought it spooled pretty quick. It spools twice as fast if I’m in second gear and stab it. I have stock heads cam and headers so maybe that’s the restriction you’re speaking of. This turbo is rated at 675 crank HPThat's what it should do with it in gear with already enough ex gas volume to get the turbo up,
with a turbine exhaust wheel and exhaust housing that cant flow to get it out.
Boost is a measure of what doesnt get in
Or is waiting to get in(stacking).
Dont confuse spool time with power.
This vid is a perfect example of the turbo being the restriction and what alot of us back in the day was fighting
Same car/combo as in your other posts right?wait. So it’s not running well? This was me cruising in 4th with the converter locked. I matter it, the converter had to unlock, and it had to drop a gear.

On a stock bottom end with possibly 170k miles? I don’t think I want to risk it…That turbo is still sleeping at 24psi. Turn it up!
For a college kid that can’t afford a $3000 ball bearing turbo and converter combo it’s pretty good lol. The guy I bought the converter and turbo package from ran high tens on 93/alky. That’s my goal when my next motor is finished. Someday ill get a good combo but together for it.That spools pretty good but a modern 62mm and converter will walk all over it with spool time and power
