Dave said the Garret housing will spool faster and so did Limited Engineering.
If you're looking to run 9's with this turbo I wouldn't use a Garrett .63. A .96 T4 would be the best choice. I wouldn't run less than a Garrett .82

Wait for good air and make sure the hook is there.

With a .82 housing what converter is needed ? I have a 3200 nl art car converter at the moment with my .63 percision. Is that sufficient enough for the bigger housing ?

Probably spool it great but log the slip.

How would log the slip with a fast xfi ? Is there a sensor needed to do this ? Thanks

The flash stall is what matters. With a all roller cam and that turbo having the flash around 5100-5200 has proven to be the best. The stall down low matters little as long as the turbo is spooled in half a second or less. I doubt an AC converter can flash to 5100 with a te45a all in. I wouldn't be surprised if flash is 5700! Precison .63 housing with a p trim ex wheel is fine

You'd need to measure drive shaft rpm and compare it to engine rpm. The intelligent fast box can be setup to do this. Just look at the rpm as soon as the 2-3 shift occurs. It's a good indicator of the converters potential to couple the power.

yes, that was me in 2006, a .68 was It's best - deadly consistent 9.80's was a fun little snail!

Cool, Ryan, what was your combo?
I also loved this turbo and ran it on a couple of my cars. All I can say, it's still a very potent turbo even today with the right combo.

Sounded like a very thought out, workable combination. I'm happy to hear your getting it buttoned back up too. And will defiantly be keeping an eye out on your progress. I'm sure it's going to be faster with some of the newer technology that out these days.

It will work outstanding on your combo, trust me. Are you stationed on west coast? If so, maybe you, Rodney87GN, and I can meet up sometime. Others are welcome too of course....
