Default My friend picked up a new turbo.....have my doubts.

So the turbo is a HT18S from an RX7. I've been doing some reading online about.
"This new turbocharger was designed to have virtually no " turbo lag " by having a flap that varies ( vacuum operated @ above 2500rpm ) depending on the load that opens wider during heavy load to have greater throuput and torque band. The turbo had two exhaust intakes into the turbine, the turbo acted as two turbos, by having both of advantages of small and big turbos, giving fast low end torque response and high end power. The turbine side was water cooled where the main body was cooled by a dual-ski heat shield. The motor makes 182HP@6500 and 183lbft@3500. The rotors from the turbo were dropped in comression from 9.4 to 8.5 that suited the application on the turbocharger."

This would be going on a 6th gen dx. I'm wondering if he will have a crap load of lag or if this system actually works. If y'all don't think it'll work out then we were throwing the idea around of picking up a t3 housing and wheels for the hybrid turbo.
Thanks in advance.
