Message: [QUOTE="KCTurbos, post: 1418236, member: 13852"] You must not be driving good running trucks with well build VGT turbos. I would love to see that box s366 building boost at 1600-1800rpms while just cruising around smoke free... not gonna happen. Rolling burnouts in second gear is cool... but while you are waiting for your truck to make it up to that speed, a properly build vgt turbo will be roasting its tires in 1st at 10-15mph. I am not trying talking trash, but you cant size/spec your way out of the fact that vgt turbos spool faster, its just science. That is kind of like saying a properly sized open housing will spool faster than divided, or even a journal bearing spooling faster than a dual ball bearing. Size for size... a vgt turbo will spool faster. Different stroke for different folks. I agree with Derek... people must have different definitions for spool. I had a customer that switched from vgt to a custom built SXE non-vgt turbo. His first impression was that the non-vgt turbo didn't really spool any slower. But had complaints that it smoked a lot more off the line, he struggled to do boosted launches, and the turbo often fell on its face a lot easier when trying to launch the truck. He had to go through lots of tune revisions, up the stall in his torque converter, and add some air flow mods to try and get it back to where it was.... still to this day he says the vgt turbo does not spool any faster than his non-vgt LOL... i guess we all have different definitions of spool up. different strokes for different folks [/QUOTE]
