VNT is awesome; my dad's golf tdi has a vnt turbo; that ****** has NO lag and being a tdi its a torque monster. I've also ridden in a few vnt equiped gti golfs and such; boosting while free revving the motor never gets old.
I'd like to find a medium sized VNT to use on my civic if i ever got the urge to auto-x it or something; big turbos + tight courses = dont work

the only turbo 5.0 i've ever seen in person in all my life had one GIANT turbo; i dont even remember what all the guy had as i was a stupid little kid at the time;; but that thing spooled like nothing. Brake boosted off the line and launched.
So displacement + brake boost =

Re: Variable Vane turbo??
Chrysler was pretty stupid when they used that VNT. Their tiny mitsu turbo's aready boost almost off idle so I dont see what was the point putting a tiny vnt on besides just off idle boost. Gave the feeling of a fun car at first but disapoints on the top end. A bigger vnt for the dodges would have been......definilty a good decision and not something dodge would have done. Everyone in those days seemed to love 0-30 accelleration.
That turbo looks WAY too small for your project. i would question anyone selling a vnt turbo who wont even give you a picture of the exhaust side since thats where the magic is.
