you cant get away from turbo lag it will always be there somewhat but you can get a smaller turbo or go with a quality ball bearing turbo and try to have a very small amount of lag. what kind of funds do you have?

trust me on this, you want some turbo lag. I went with my super 60 with the same goal in mind, and its so hard to get traction before 70. that h22 has enough torque to muscle its way through a pretty laggy turbo.

i think if you found some type of horsepower goal or a quarter mile time you want to achieve we could help you out more.

Is this a street car, or just for the quarter mile? Lag on the strip can be dealt with many ways, and isn't really an issue if your gearing is right. But a T4 on the street? Supras and Mustangs use T4's for big street power. For a FWD street car, you can make a straight T3 smoke the tires in most gears (if you do it right).

Hopefully your manifold is for divided housings, in which case, get the .58ar divided t4 housing if you can. Otherwise you're kinda SOL if its a street car.

You must come up with some goals and what you want to accomplish in mind. We are not clarivoiant. Especially when you've planned for a T4 setup and have had no goals or parameters in line.
