ta54 power band

[crazygn]

Does any one know the power band on this turbo , as for the rpm's , starts to spool at 3200? . Where does this turbo build its power , low boost , mid , or high boost, 20psi and over , it seems to be ok but not what i thought it would be under 20psi. Where will the turbo wake up. Thinking of going smaller, 44 or ta49. The 54 seems no better then my old ta33

This sounds just like my experience when I went from a 49 to a 64 on my car. Not much difference with normal boost levels but it's amazing how much harder it pulls over 23psi. The car will also feel slower when it spools slower even though it might actually be pulling harder up top.

It seems to be dead on the top end over 4400 rpm, under 18psi and 93 pump gas it fells like a 13 sec car, maybe. I tought for sure it was going to get in the 11's with this set up but now i just cant see it getting there. There is something wrong with this motor but i cant seem to find it.

Larger turbos are good for higher boost. Over turboing is one of the biggest mistakes people do.
