Spool Time on Turbos
Thanks everyone...it seems like the TT's get boost approx 500 rpms sooner. I also understand that there are tons of other circumstances that can change the boost characteristics. I am coming from the 240sx community where there are tons of boosted motors and different turbo variances. But, I was just looking for a approx rpm range that each kit was hitting. It seems like they are all very close...as well as our 3.5L motor being capable to make outstanding midrange numbers.
Im trying to choose a good setup that will be good for drifting and autox/road races. I dont plan on building the engine, so I won't be pushing these turbos over 10psi. I am thinking a TN tuner setup would be best b/c of cost, and b/c of placement of turbos. If anything goes wrong at the track, it seems it may be much easier to fix at the top of the engine bay then the bottom. I am also worried about the turbo not being water cooled and heat issues on track days...especially the TN setup. I might come off as a worry bug, but I really don't want to regret not doing something the right way the first time.

Actually, my car hits full boost in the 3200 rpm range. You can see it on my dyno sheet when the power levels out, but I haven't actually mapped boost on a dyno that is capable of it.
I have wrapped piping with coated headers, and a Blitz SBC Id-3 boost controller on a 7lb wastegate spring.
