thats a tough one. I would say A bb tc76 would be the only thing i know off. They make great power for there size, and spool real quick which is why so many people use/love them.

Quick spool valve maybe? Soundperformance (supra builders) is using something like that, and I think Linxs is working on running that on his V6 car.

Yeah, didn't know if his was a divided flange or not.

I also don't think there is turbo that will outspool a TC76 only the BB version and even that doesn't help much.

A 50-75 shot of NOS will do wonders on the spool time!

We have tried all the 76's pretty much. Love both the 76GTS and the TC76. Nothing touches the TC76 on spool up....period. We love the 76GTS though also since it does make more peak power. We sell both and love both turbos. They just have their advantages and disadvantages depending on your application.

i was just curious whats out there... its a 6 speed and a rear mount.... see the graph to see spooling... about 2500 is when it starts and full boost around 4,000 on the dyno... i think its slightly sooner on the street




so what makes a 2500 turbo different than these 950 units?
