IT ROCKS! It pulls like crazy at the same boost I ran with my 52. The 52 would come on strong and peter out about halfway through a gear. I never really thought it did, but compared to the 65 it did. The faster I go the more it pulls. Weird, my car has some topend now. Such a difference from previous.
It is in an .82 A/R housing. Made the exhaust more rumbly at idle and more raspy at WOT.
The 52 spooled instantaneously with my combo. Do anything but touch the pedal lightly and it would build to 5# and keep going if you let it. With the 65 I have to be more intentional, but I'm starting to get used to it. It's like traction control in comparison. Once it gets to 10# it slams the needle to 21# and whooo.
A great thing is that my horrible half throttle compressor surge is GONE. The car is smooth everywhere.
And I can run 2 more pounds without KR in 3rd.
The whisle is more subtle and is like a gentle whir at cruising. Get it spinning and it sounds wonderful. A part I love about these cars. Way better than blower whine. And when you let off it sounds awesome.
The more I drive with this thing the more I like it. A pretty bitchin street turbo. I haven't gotten new times yet, as the track was rained out this weekend. I'll post some ASAP.
If you read this Jack, THANKS!
