software engineer... mostly backend web stuff, ruby on rails, ios. i started out after high school working on motorcycles, then moved onto solid modeling/fea/prototyping stuff at a company that built police cars, then eventually wanted to work from home and started coding full time. of course lots of shitty jobs in between lol.

I am going turbo and want to figure out which setup would work best for my intended application. Looking mostly for DD midrange power that can handle the occasional track/autoX day. Not too worried about maximum HP figures. just want a responsive turbo that will make the car more enjoyable everyday when I want it. My choices are:
-GT2876R .82AR -GT3071R .63AR I see the GTX2867 mentioned but not the GT2876R. Please enlighten me. |

They are the same in terms of speed. But heat is always the enemy. granted turbos work well under heat, but there is a hair thin line of what is acceptable and what is not in terms of how hot the IAT's are getting.

Way to dredge up and old conversation. Neither of you ever heard of torque? Seen the effect of a broad powerband vs a narrow one in a race?

C'mon enough bickering. How about we do something useful and answer legitimate questions.
