Sexy turbo.

Can't wait to see this at the track day

[[ITS-STI]]

I care not for your boutique td05-20g , but I do like you cooler. I am waiting to see the response of the fancy 20g on a 2.5. Mine is little laggy on the 2.0. But don't worry, I am fixing this as we speak.

Tomei does not have published flow rates... They rate turbos at Crank HP as that is how they are tested in Japan... Several people have already exceeded the crank HP rating of these turbos at the wheels... Under rated much??? The smallest M7760 has already hit over 380hp @ the wheels when Tomei claim 380 at the crank!!!

Don't get me wrong, I am not dissing the turbo here, those specs are lovely and all, but it is still a set of fancy wheels in a tarted up td0520g housing. I often see my turbo compared to garetts and the American fanboys all rave over them, but I would still rather have an off the shelf Garret. My cbrd unit performs nothing like they say it should, nor will it come close to the seppo numbers; but I am still happy with it.

From a cursory view at those specs, and looking at compressor (cold) side in isolation, the m7960 appears to be slightly laggier than a gt2876r, but due to the larger trim will pack a heavier punch once full boost is in. However with the smaller turbine housing / wheel, it should come on nice and early. Proper tuning of the auto and avcs will see this sing a pretty note on boost, Rome. Cant wait to see it all finished.

If I had a 2.5 and looking for a bolt on turbo, I think I would also be going for this turbo over the 3076, although probably prefer the gtx3076 above both of them.

However, because I have no need for a subie flanged turbo, I'll be going something a little different when my 2.5 build is done. Something capable of full boost (30psi) by 3000rpm, and able to deliver over 650hp at the flywheel

But the specs seem like they're well thought out on the tomei's. Good choice I reckon Rome

Will do! You still owe me too Leo haha

Oh and as for power, on the initial tune I am hoping to crack 200 but I don't want to shoot for a number as I would be disappointed if I didn't reach it. Given it's an auto I lose power through the auto box, and there is really only one person who knows how to tune the autos properly...

What means more to me than the dyno number is the overall driveability as well as 0-100 time and quarter mile time. I can get a lot more out of those last two figures than a dyno figure will give me! A sub 5 second 0-100 time and a quarter mile time in the mid 12s would be my goal!

This numbers would be very impressive indeed! More then enough to leave an impression in the seats

Perfect way to learn how to utilise all that extra power.
