overall installation was a siinch, bolted directly to the manifold, used same dp elbow and dp, got some new oil/coolant lines. i got a lil lag now on spool but bb turbo's sound awesome when driving. u hear nothin but spool. pulls a lot harder n pulls til redline instead of only 5k. ill get some dyno numbers here soon after i get the larger injectors n turn up the boost. blah blah later

well on my motor, i dont take it above 7500 but im sure it can hold boost higher then that if u wish to take it higher. boost on this turbo feels like a rocket compared to the t25.

I went from a T25 (.48/.49) to a t3/40e (.60/.63) and it's a HUGE difference. This new turbo has a whole lot more lag but it makes up for it on the top end.

I just turned up teh boost to 14psi and it spins them in 4th.
