Well if you dont want .63 lag, then you DEFINATELY dont want a T38 which is (depending on who makes it as it varies a little) still the same .63 hotside but with a larger compressor thats harder to turn and hence more laggy.

PS, i havent had any heat issues on my .48and i know others who have ran them VERY hard and been ok too, all down to how its mapped at the end of the day but for 350bhp, it seems a good option to me providing you arent going to hold it open for 60 seconds at a time flat down an autobahn or something.

.48 will be fine for this power, just use a 500 cooler

Just gone from a T34 0.48 to a Universal Turbos T38 and its noticably more laggy, but doesn't drop of like the T34.

My max EGT so far has been about 720 and thats with a lagged downpipe. The thermocouple is mounted about 4 inches from the exhaust housing outlet.
