last month nobody thought you could road race with a 60 trim obviously Element Tuning ended that theory. its easy to see where each kit spools, just look at where the tq curves starts to flatline and youll be able to see this on any dyno chart. every turbo has its purpose but i dont think the 28s belong on this motor i would stick with the t3t4 or the gt30. we have a few more tests to do over the next couple months to give you guys more options to consider.
I think a lot of knowledgable people would argue against the point that a gtx28r doesn't belong on a 2.0l engine. If you think that, who do you offer them?
