It depends what you want to do with the car. AutoX? Drag race? Road race? Fast spool? XXXWHP?. Once you have that all figured out it will be easier to give you feedback.

Pondering on future upgrades to a T-66

T66 is fine for that combo...leave it as iscpdaddy35 said:
Nod, if autox becomes more of what you want, you might want to step down the turbo actually. If you really want to upgrade, try the smaller AR and get the ball bearing center section which comes water cooled too.

That's almost 3 times as much HP as you're used to and anything above 550rwhp isn't very usable on the street. I think you'll be plenty happy.cpdaddy35 said:

fORGET THE t66. geT SPGT800W. Spools faster and makes more rwhp
Hmm....If I was to keep the car and upgrade the turbo.....I would go with a Q trimmed T71 from Kean @ Boostlogic. Shrouded compressor housing while I'm at it (they sound sick, IMO!). Not exactly what I would consider an AutoX setup, but that's my preference. Spoolup should be in the neighborhood of 4200~4400 with the proper tune.
Aside from that, tuning wise there is more to gain on a dyno, but not safely on the street. The car is tuned pretty conservative for street duties. With only two pulls on the dyno to get "the number", I left a lot on the table. Ex:
A/F's were a rich 11.0 (on C16 no less)
Timing was 18 in the midrange ramping up to 21 up top
Boost was targeted @ 1.7 BAR
I pulled out @ 6500 due to dyno guy waving like a dumbass (not related to me)
Being that it was more or less "exhibition" day at the car show, only two pulls were allowed. On the street, it's a different story. A/F's were running 11.8 on C16, boost leveled @ 1.8 Bar, highest logged knock activity was 1.5V (grass, normal engine noise) and it pulls hard enough to make you pucker. Pump gas map is obviously more conservative, 1.2 bar, less timing and A/F's are in the 11.5 range. I'm sure you'll be pleased . Looking forward to you coming up!

P.S. I just picked up the shortblock for the new "project" today. Brand new crate GTE short block....going in the 04' IS300 we just bought. It's sad, the new car hasn't even cracked 600 miles on the odometer and we already have a turbo block waiting in the wings :devil:

I'm hoping there is sarcasm here. It's hard to tell given your post count.94Single said:fORGET THE t66. geT SPGT800W. Spools faster and makes more rwhp
