Oh I'm well aware of that, trust me
The turbo in question is capable of well over 600 to the crank.
Let me clarify - my concern is not at all if the turbo is big enough or will make the power. My only concern is, how bad would it be driving with it. I am expecting lag, but also not post-5k rpm for boost kind of lag.
I've been looking around Youtube for GT35R vids on spring pressure/low boost setups with 2L engines, that have significantly lower compression. And they don't seem to be that horrible to be honest. Just unsure on what to do.
To be completely honest, if a turbo of a larger size is at least drivable, but at the same time slightly "safer" for the engine (for the reasons I stated in the first post) then that's preferred in my world.
But maybe the difference is so small it's not worth it? I have no idea..
