both t4 and no comparison but the GT4580 housing is HUGE. unless you opt to get the 42R compressor housing instead.

When you had the st80 how did it compare in size to the t76? I assume those numbers are with an unlocked converter? great set up.

How does spool up and overall power differ between the ST80 and the GT4580? What has been the most fun setup so far?

my current 45R setup is very fun. the power is instant and makes good power. theres a few changes i made from the st80 setup and the 45R setup to the converter etcc so its hard to say but the current setup is great.

Did you switch from manual to auto because you didn't like the way your car handled with boost always dropping between gears? Or were you always breaking stuff? Btw this is an awsome build! We need videos of this car on the street asap lol.

just retuned =)

I recently changed my setup out to a truck manifold crossover. LQ4 with COan TH400 and Pro torque converter. built everything 9" 91 octane with methanol injectoin. Nick @ newtech did an outstanding job. 723WHP 6XX torque. this car pulls like a damn freight train.

Vid and pics from my Droid X . sorry for the low quality.

the first kit was made by a local fabricator/ friend of mine we used nastyn8 msd wires with a relocated coil pack system with 90 degree boots @ the spark plug end. the car now uses truck manifolds for simplicity reasons.

My cars tuned by newtech performance. no idea on the timing
