Default what kind of turbo???

i was wondering what kind of turbo does the drag gen III kit come with?

also, what are your opinions on a t4 turbo or t3/t4 on a gsr? what is the boost threshold on those turbos? would i expect power to drop off on the top end with the t3/t4?

The kind that makes the *whirring* noise.

Those are some seriously difficult questions. Let me just say this:


A full T4 is too big for any "street" application Honda(I know I'm going to get flack with this one, but realistically for easier daily grinding)
Boost "threshold" or effieciency range as it should be refered to as
depends on the trim of the center section and A/R of the end
housings.
You should never experience a power "dropoff" with a properly sized
turbo.

Lastly don't buy a Drag kit you'll regret it go with Rev-Hard or Max-Rev<- I hear is a good one too. Hell I'd buy a Greddy kit before a Drag.

Most places that sell kits such as DRAG or FMAX will allow you to specify what size compressor and turbine you want. Find out which size is the best for your application, then when you go buy your kit just specify to the dealer that you want to pick your own specs.

If you dont specify a size DRAG or FMAX may give you a size to small or one that will not meet your desired HP goals. More than likely they will give you a T04B compressor and a T3 turbine...but a lot of times people find that the sizes that dealers pick are too small.
