Dude I understand u love your sc. Been there done that. I thought that was the biggest waste of money I ever spent. Trust me drive a Turbo car and I can almost guarantee you will fall in love. My motor is fully built. And built for boost so that pretty much not a concern to me. I do appreciate the the input and I'm sure vortex REALLY appreciates it. Lol. That ship has sailed for me tho. ��

idk.. like i kinda agree and disagree at the same time. like yea, sure on the 350z an sc is kinda a waste of money, but on like an old nova, or charger, i would rock an sc anyday.

If the boost is coming on too fast, get a boost controller that can do boost by gear and tune it to help with the lower gears. No sense at all making the car slower in all the other gears just so you can control 1st and 2nd better. If a computer can do it better than you can, let it.

If you really want lag, don't mess with the compressor side, open up the turbine side. You'll get more power per lb of boost through better efficiency and less turbine backpressure. The Greddy type turbine housings are easy enough to come by for all sorts of combos- TD05h 9-blade, TD06SL2, TD06, TD06h, in both 8 (what is probably what yours are) and 10cm² nozzle area.

You could go with the billet 20g wheels, but I still think they're overkill (they'll max out around 1100hp). The 20g cast wheels are garbage though. Seriously. They were designed for diesel engines, the rotor ratio (ratio of inducer to exducer) is stupid big for a turbo that small, which means they're prone to surge. They have no place on a performance car in the current market.

The billet 18gs should give you a fair amount of room to grow, as they typically flow quite a bit better than their cast counterparts due to the larger inducer throat and higher efficiency. They should be good to about 800whp, possibly more. There are several versions too. The versions with fewer blades will spool slower but flow more. More blades will spool faster but choke sooner.

Finally back on track!!! Thanks man. So yeah been digging into what you said about the 18/20g. Look man I been out of the game for almost 4yrs do to an injury. Feel like I lost all knowledge I had ( the very little i had). Well funny you should say about a boost controller cause I'm getting rid of my manual and getting new one. Never heard of these tho. What would I be looking into? Brand,model what would you suggest? Think my plan is to run the upgraded 18g billet wheel

Can't help ya with boost controller, I always did it through the ECU itself.

A quick google search for boost by gear controllers yields:

Sry for myself being so uneducated but you did through the Ecu? So your saying like a stand alone? I was gonna switch and run a haltech but idk after all that has popped up. Eventually I will but I think for Rt now I just gotta stick w the up rev

get a haltech and run the boost controller though it. The stand alone lets you do boot by gear. You are still limited by your wastegate spring

Thanks man. Yeah that's what I thought. Have to start saving my changes. Lol

stfu asshat, sc users can't afford turbos, hence why they go the cheaper route

If I drove a piece of shyt beat to shyt salvaged title 150k mile z like you I would turbo it and not worry about blowing it either. You probably have a eBay kit on your car 😂😂😂

that moment where the tires on his car alone cost more than your sc kit....

That moment when you realize my car will resell for way more than your junked Frankenstein salvaged shyt...
