Finally got my new engine in the car and must say I am impressed with the boost response this turbo has with my stall and build combo. Was very skeptical of its boost response being a JB and rolled the dice when I bought it, but no worries now. Turbo has a S cover/ .63 PTE hot side.
Worked with Dusty to spec the convertor and I am very happy so far boost response wise. Cant say on the big end how she will do as Dusty said I need to shift at 6 grand to get coupling.
From a dead stop just giving it good amount of pedal to load the engine the boost comes in very linear and not laggy at all.
I midly power braked the car briefly yesterday just to see if it would build boost and was pleasantly surprised.
Turbo came up quickly and was ready to go. This wasnt a assault foot brake either just testing it out lightly.
With the boost at 5 PSI the tach showed around 3200-3300 and actually went on up to almost 10 psi and 3600 rpm.
Motor is just a mild build (see signature) and only has 20 or so miles on it and hasnt been WOT yet.
I know the 6262 is very popular and glad I didnt spend the extra cash on BB vs. JB, its simply not needed with the right convertor.
Not saying the convertor is 100% as the verdict is still out on the big end coupling ability but from dealing with Dusty/PTC in the past I bet its pretty close and they are great about reworking it if need be.
