Whats up guys?
Well, heres whats up.
My car is currently being turned into my daily driver again... or well at least daily drivable. I will have a true DD, but since I only drive 15-20 miles a day at most I think I should at least enjoy those 15 or 20 miles haha.
I have given up "racing" this car. I am thinking something in th 2800-3k stall range would be plenty. If I do upgrade my turbo it will be to a new "stock replacement size" billet BB turbo. So it should spool better than my current 3255. I am not giving up on this 3255 yet though, this little turbo screams, and I have not even tapped into it's true power yet.
Here's the deal: My Dad bought a Mazdaspeed 3, and ever since I have fallen in love with the near N/A feeling that the car has. When it's cold that little car has nearly zero lag.
So here's what Im after: Im running a Gt3255, and I want INSTANT power. I am currently running a stock d5 as far as I know. The lag is there for sure, but I know there are gains to be had from a lighter more efficient converter. I want the most efficient, reliable, upgrade over stock that behaves like stock. Basically I dont want to give up anything I already have, Im shooting for only gains not a trade off. The drive ability of the car is what I am shooting to improve with this upgrade.
Let me know you're thoughts! The car is currently getting a good ol' fashioned rebuild, so Im going through the whole powertrain right now making sure I dont have to do it again any time soon...
