RE: Big turbo
The thing the compressor maps doesn't account for is the turbine. The GT35 and GT40 are some very large hotsides. Even with a 2.0L, they will need asmaller hotside a/r to get going.

RE: Big turbo
don't you risk more turbo lag when you're putting a significantly larger than stock turbo in your ride? I mean, just based on the mass of the compressor and everything else has to make it start boosting at higher RPM's right?

By the way, I'm taking donations for my turbo project.
