i am in the market for a new turbo. i was wondering if anyone here has a t04s/60-1 w/ an .82 a/r? i think that is what i want to go with and i just wanted to here some opinions. it is either that or a t62-1 w/ big shaft. this is for a stricktly street car with a 2.0l stroker motor.
a few of the qusetions:
around what rpm does it begin to spool?
where does it reach max boost?
how horrible is the lag?
ect.

that turbo is gonna have horrible lag time for a street car, i would only put that turbo on a track car. I have a 2.0l motor too and am going with a T3 60-1, great turbo for street use.

Well if it's strictly for street use then maybe you want to got with t3/60-1 so you can spool up faster.

What's your compression at? If you have low compression then you might have a tough time spooling up a t4/60-1 , esp with a .82 a/r. But then again you have a 2.0 L so hmmm... You might be able to spool that sucker up @6k-7k or so.

Your best bet would be to with a a t3/60-1 or go with lower a/r on the exhaust side.

edit- spelling

the motors compression ratio is 9.0-1. but i am looking to run 1 bar daily and more than 22 psi at the track. the motor is built to hold up to 40psi as long as there is the propper fuel. the turbo i have now is a t3/4b .57 and that spools up aroun 43-4500 and holds throughout the rpm range. i liked it but, the other day i drove a car with a t3/4 60-1 and the same motor and it just seemed to be way more powerful at the same boost. thats why i want to go just a little bigger. i am deffinitly open to other suggestions though. is it possible for you guys to post some oics of tour turbos? i just want to judge size
