Have to agree with bill in this one. The last thing I want on the street is a huge laggy turbo. Indeed great for the strip, but I don't go that often. I don't really want to be doing high rev racing style starts each time I need to pull out of a roundabout to stay in the boost.

A 3071R on a 1.9 20V is far from laggy.Try it;)

depends on its spec. I can think of one which is utter shite... GT3071R laggy as fcuk. Horrible.
even my larger FP's kick its arse in every respect.

Wrong spec I know on that example, but the key thing is its spec of build

whats yours?

GT3071 on a 2l evo engine is very responsive similar spool to a FP Green and certainly as quick at spoling as my ihi on 1.8t but obviously in a different league.In my opinion the best road car i've been in is a gt3076r equipped evo with 500bhp.

I'm going for the stock compression ratio. I woun't be running silly 30+ psi boost, and want the better lower rev range torque.

I've sent my parts list request off to Bob at qedpower. Just finalising which bore to go for really. Also waiting for replies to machining cost requests from engineering shops.

82mm bore= 1825cc, 83mm bore = 1870cc by my calcs with stock compression.

Any bigger will involve a larger crank etc, which is all possible. The kits are out there.

Raceware studs are reuseable if you plan to be taking things apart often then they pay for themselves. I'll be running OEM stretch bolts. I've not heard of heads lifting with them even on high power. Always ready to be prooved wrong though if anyone else has btter info.
